S.W, anybody remembers little VXCH we picked up around $1.80? It's now MXIP @$25.75 and on NASDAQ.... MAX Internet Communications Approved for Listing on Nasdaq SmallCap Market... DALLAS, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- MAX Internet Communications (OTC Bulletin Board: MXIP - news) today announced that it has received approval from the Nasdaq-Amex Stock Market to begin trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the same symbol, MXIP effective February 10, 2000. The company made application on November 15, 1999, and today received notice of approval by meeting all Nasdaq SmallCap listing qualifications. Due to certain developments since the company's application, MAX Internet said it now plans to file for listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market System. Management believes that the company currently meets the criteria for listing on the National Market System, however, it added that meeting the criteria is no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the company for listing. In making the announcement, Lawrence R. Biggs, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, noted ''The approval for MAX Internet's shares to trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market will be instrumental in generating broader interest among institutions and potential investors for our common stock. We believe that our inclusion will generate the amount of exposure that our story deserves for those seeking a company with a superior technology and significant growth potential.'' Mr. Biggs concluded, ''Meeting the requirements for Nasdaq SmallCap is an important step in the future growth of our company and represents another milestone in establishing the i.c.Live technology as the standard for all business and personal communications.'' MAX Internet Communications Inc. manufactures and markets a PC Internet Media Processor Card, the MAX i.c.Live 3600, and an Information Appliance, the MAX i.c.Live Video Communication Station.

S.W, MRTO - By now all of you have probably read about the "Hacker Attack" on Yahoo, Ebay, and CNBC. In addition other hackers have recently stolen credit card holder data from Thai E-commerce servers and others. (story attached). Listening to Greenspan we note that the World is no longer on a "Gold Standard".......we are now on an "Internet Standard". That "standard" was severely threatened this week. Now......the hackers didn't do more than overload the servers and cause them to momentarily crash.....but the perception in the market place goes much deeper. Internet security will become the prime focus on Wall St. We have researched MerchantOnline.com and their proposed applications for enhanced security on the net. If these guys can actually pull it off...our findings are "signifigant". In short here's what they have and why we think it will work; The Threat: 1.Anyone sending their credit card number over the internet risks the chance of "piracy" catching the card number and PIN numbers. 2. Hackers can attach "cookies" while you are online.....and actually see what you are typing....scary thought! 3. Even on a secure server....anyone registering their card number, and personal data risks the chance of a "hacker", or unethical employee entering the server and removing the information. 4. We have seen cases lately of secure servers being physically stolen from the premises and credit information taken and utilized. 5. Even on ligitimate transactions the process is complicated as there is no proof that the card holder is actually sending the data. 6. E-commerce retailers have received multiple online orders and shipped them, only to find 3 days later the card authorization has been rescinded. This effects both the card issuers as well as the merchants. MerchantOnline's Solution: 1. A credit card swiper which will plug into your key board. All card information is sent "encrypted" in the swiper so it is already encoded before entering your computor.......right through to the credit card processer (MerchantOnline) then on to Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc. 2. No Online Merchant or his server ever sees your personal credit card data or stores it.....whatever he does see is all encryted. 3. Card holder verification is instantaneous as the purchaser must be in physical pocession of the card in order to swipe it. Here's the really neat part: 4. Further cardholder verification can be made.....as the card swiper will also read the cardholders license and send that data encryted as well. 5. The process will allow for ATM transactions on a B2B transaction where normal credit card fees would be too high. Settlement is "instantaneous", no holding period.....wouldn't the online Casinos love that feature! Here's another bonus: 6. The card swipe device is also a "writer". Daddy can issue a separate debit card to Jr. in colledge. When Jr. runs out of money, Daddy can transfer it over the net......Jr. can download it onto his card at his computer and be "financially recharged" without having exhausted Daddy's credit card. When we heard this one.....our immediate reaction was to "Short" Western Union.....those expensive money transfers will be obsolete. The BIG BONUS......... What happens when EBAY, AMAZON, etc, Can now run transactions with the millions of "credit impaired" Americans over the net? What about the juvenile market which doesn't qualify for a credit card....but is the market leader for Online Music purchases? What happens when "spontaneous" E-traders can now buy stock on "Impulse" despite insufficient funds in their e-trade account. SWIPE-IT! MerchantOnline says the card-swiper will sell for around $25....and cost less than $10 to produce. We expect Online Brokerage Firms will "give them away" with every new account". Not to mention the top e-retailers. Remember MRTO also gets a percentage of every transaction. There is no doubt in our minds that this is why MRTO was invited by NACHA (125 member Internet council)to help set the standards for Internet security via an E-Payment Pilot project. We encourage everyone to do your research. Remember DELL, the internet's top performer......up a whopping 73,000% (hard to believe). If MerchantOnline does get the "good housekeeping seal" from the market leaders...........it would be very difficult to predict evaluations.....guess we'll leave that up to Wall Street. Current $16.50 Here's the Hacker article. US Hacker Lifts Thai Credit Card Data Section: 80. International News A US-based hacker has extracted credit card information from a Thai e-commerce web site and posted it on two US sites, according to the Bangkok Post. The paper said hacking into the site had been made easy for the intruder, who calls himself Curador, the credit card details had been stored in a mail server by Loxley Information Services, the operator of the www.shoppingthailand.com site. It quoted a local expert as saying card data should be kept on bank computers protected by double firewalls. All credit card holders who have made purchases via the site have been advised to check monthly statements for incorrect charges. --- If you like Thisweekspick.com vote for us at; investorschat.com ---

California Software Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue Exceeds Expectations SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2000--California Software Corp. (OTC BB:CAWC - news), a leader in IBM migration products and developer of the award-winning BABY product line, today announced fourth quarter revenue of $2.3 million. These record sales, which exceeded expectations for a traditionally slow quarter, resulted from broad market acceptance of the new BABY/GUI product and the Company's largest single order yet of 4,000 licenses. These sales represent a year-to-year increase of more than 200% from the fourth quarter of 1998. With this dramatic growth, California Software will move to new headquarters early in the second quarter of this year to accommodate increased staffing. ''The current staff of 34 will grow to 68 during the calendar year. These additional sales and support staff will build infrastructure for the planned achievement of $20,000,000 in top line sales for Y2K'', said Bruce Acacio, President and Chief Executive Officer of California Software. ''With three product releases planned this year including the already announced BABY/AS2001, we are confident that these goals are achievable and consistent with the level of growth which we have proven we can achieve,'' stated Carol Conway, Vice President of California Software. In order to fund the continued growth of the Company's core business and planned strategic acquisitions, California Software will soon be issuing a minimum of 5 million dollars worth of stock in a private placement. This private placement, in addition to the Company's strong balance sheet and the retirement of its 2.5 million dollar debt to the shareholders of its predecessor company, will meet the qualifications to affect its transition to listing on a NASD stock exchange. California Software Corp. is the international leading provider of IBM Midrange migration software solutions marketed under the brand name BABY. These products support the migration IBM AS/400 screens and applications into PC-LAN business environment and enjoy over 100,000 installations in 56 countries. Forward-looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the ''safe harbor'' provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, continued acceptance of the Company's products, increased levels of competition for the Company, new products and technological changes, the Company's dependence on third-party suppliers, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SW - SILCF rocketing this week on Time Warner-Road Runner cable modem/PC connectivity deal. STKR soaring on fiberoptics components demand. SCKT strengthening in anticipation of next Wednesday's EPS report and CC and upcoming trade show in Germany on Feb. 21st. EXGP exploded on huge growth of its financial portal for daytraders, 3dstockcharts.com NSATF still strong on booming DirecTV growth and broadband satellite equipment sales. FBCE remains promising based on continued optical fiber contracts. DDEV broke out this week on successful test of patented wireless antenna array system for high-speed, two-way Internet access. Bought into two low-priced stocks yesterday: MWAR (Microware Systems) has patented embedded operating system software for use in wireless Internet appliances and a market cap of only $80 million. Motorola owns 15% of MWAR. Also, bought PFNT (Preferred Networks) which has a patented system for wireless paging, voice messaging and e-mailing via the Internet instead of standard phone lines. PFNT has a $30 million market cap and sells for less than 1 times sales. Regards.
