Kemble & Thread: LONGonDELL is now LONGonFIBER. This change was made at the request of many of our fellow posters who thought that since I was no longer an owner of DELL, that my name should change.

I owe the lion share of my portfolio performance from early 1996-early 1999 to one stock which comprised more than 90% of my holdings throughout that period, Dell Computer Corp. My special thanks go out to Michael Dell, and Mort Topfer for creating outstanding shareholder value for me and the other DELL shareholders during that period.

My new name places the portfolio emphasis where it currently ought to be, principally in the delivery of bandwidth through fiber optic networks (and secondarily through broadband wireless). I expect to be LONGonFIBER for the next several years.

My best regards to all my friends on SI,

LONGonFIBER

In addition to WCOM, you might look at Qwest at these levels. I would expect it to move up behind LVLT, GBLX, and others.

Best,

LONGonFIBER

Kemble, I just spent $14,200 on three new Dells. Regardless of what they say, the ASP is not dropping! I cut corners where I could (733 instead of 800 mhz for -$400), but damn if I couldn't get the cheapest one (w/o a monitor) for less than $3,000. The most expensive was $5,900.

Maybe I'll buy back! <G>

Kemble, Hi! I just saw this. Dell is just about the only one still standing. :) Leigh

Compaq Might Miss Estimates, Lang Asset's Lang Tells Forbes

quote.bloomberg.com

Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Compaq Computer Corp. could
miss fourth-quarter earnings estimates of about 15 cents a share,
Robert Lang of Atlanta-based Lang Asset Management told Forbes in
its ``Streetwalker' column. After a $2.7 billion loss in 1998
and a second-quarter 1999 loss of $184 million, the personal-
computer maker's shares hit a low of $19. Compaq's plan to copy
rival Dell Computer Corp. and build computers to order isn't
exactly ``crackling,' with Dell saying it can deliver the
computers in a week, compared with two weeks for Compaq, Forbes
said.

Compaq's third-quarter profit was little changed as the
world's biggest personal computer maker wrestled with slowing
demand and lost market share to competitors.
