Craig, I just got some feedback from my sister and brother-in-law. I bought them the Canon A50 1.3 megapixel digital camera which offers reasonable resolution at a reasonable price. The total was $341 for the camera at pcwonders.com. I also gave them a 16 MB SanDisk CompactFlash card which cost $49.99 and a PCMCIA adapter which was $12.99. I bought these products at BestBuy and probably should have just ordered them at the time I ordered the camera. The only rip-off was $89.99 for the rechargeable lithium battery pack, an unexpected and expensive accessory. They have been very pleased with the images. My brother-in-law is a Mac fan and he is quite particular about loading additional software onto his laptop. He was quite surprised that he could just plug in the CF card and adapter and pull the images up without any fuss. Also, my brother, who was still somewhat unimpressed with digital photography at Thanksgiving time, is now asking me for recommendations about a purchase. Seems like the digital shutterbug is on the loose!!! I hope that we see 1.3 to 1.5 megapixel digicams with optical zoom under $300 in 2000. Also, if 2.1 megapixel cameras fall below the $500 mark there will also be an uptick in interest, IMHO. By 2001 anything less than 2.0 megapixels will probably be a starter camera.

Craig and Thread, cbs.marketwatch.com I regret selling all my SEG shares to buy up more SNDK shares after the earthquake. In the mid-20's I think the downside of SEG was minimal and it could easily double from the $28.00 a share I dumped them at just a few months ago... Tide changes for Seagate Shares of Seagate Technology (SEG: news, msgs) floated in a sea of black Monday, rising to a 52-week high of 48 13/16 after Morgan Stanley Dean Witter raised its recommendation on the disk drive maker to "outperform" from "neutral" while setting a $57 price target for the shares. Analyst Gillian Munson told investors the firm is cautious on hard diskndrives for the first half of 2000 but thinks Seagate's investments andnlong-term position are solid, noting that Seagate, while actively reducing costs and buying back stock, has the best balance sheet in the group. Munson also said it was "tough to ignore" Seagate's 85 million share holding in Veritas Software (VRTS: news, msgs) noting that Seagate also owns about 5 million Gadzoox (ZOOX: news, msgs) shares, 5 million SanDisk (SNDK: news, msgs) shares and "a piece" of Dragon Systems.
