Greg, Grahon may be a good pick. But for the first time in my life I just sold 1000 corl SHORT at 19 1/8. Now that's at a price 9% down from yesterdays close. So I put my money where my mouth is. Or maybe where my ass is. We shall see. Tom Watson tosiwmee

Greg: Since Corel owns 25% of Graphon, both win. Yes, you want GraphOn products sold to other vendors for Graph-on revenue, but Corel will get it far cheaper. Further, Corel is still by far the bigger and better bet. With the Corel Linux desktop capable of accessing necessary windows apps, via winbridge, demand for the coming WP 2000 for Linux, Draw 9 and PhotoPaint for Linux will surge. The winbridge issue, in time, will become moot as more and more software developers are forced to port their products to Linux, either native or Wine. The snowball is picking up speed. I can see a lot of light ahead. Shortly the market will too. The significance of this move by Corel will be understood and praised heavily as Linux extends itself in the business place. (Rod, my tout/criticism ratio is still slightly negative.) Further Up, Scott
