Gary-- you were not paying attention when I suggested at from 34 to 35 3/4... over 10 points in 3 weeks ago... not a lock but as close as can be. Each 112 shares of vsio = 50 msft. Nice discount... .45 msft for each vsio share.. DEC 16, 1999, M2 Communications - Visio Corp. (Nasdaq: VSIO) announced that its shareholders voted to approve its merger agreement with Microsoft Corp. at a special shareholder meeting held today at Visio's headquarters in Seattle. "This is a major milestone toward completing the pending merger transaction with Microsoft," said Jeremy Jaech, president and chief executive officer of Visio Corp. "We are pleased that our shareholders recognise the value of this business combination. We remain optimistic that the transaction will close in January 2000 pending completion of regulatory review by the U.S. Department of Justice and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions." Announced on Sept. 15, 1999, the merger is structured as an exchange of stock in which each share of Visio common stock will be exchanged for 0.45 shares of,' Microsoft common stock.

Gary-- Hal said you may be interested.. "Rumor" is.... .44-.47 eps could be as high as .50eps ! Consensus is..."Blow out numbers...revenue will 'surprise' " ! Benhamou being "tutored"....Paisley will be "upbeat" on future of 3com...no dumb comments relative to next two qtrs...just the basic line... Message sent to Benhamou to refrain from "temptation" to "belittle" analyst's....has been told to "Put on a Statesmanship appearance" ! WOW....sounds like VERY GOOD NEWS ! You may be correct....could see a 5pt "Jump" on After Mkt trading and another 3-5pt on Wednesday Open. Upgrades by Merrill Lynch and others certainly will help in the following weeks.>>>>>>> OK,, We shall see and good luck! Capt
