This is Great! Got a call from my brother yesterday (he's kind of a MSFT hack). Said he was going to install w2k on his home machine (he builds his own always updating). He downloaded a w2k system evaluator tool from MSFT web site. This tool, once installed on your machine will run a report of possible problems w2k may encounter with you machine. He ran the report but decided to turn his printer off after it printed the forth page! I guess at that point he decided this was going to be an all day (week?) event. He tried an install any way. Never got it to work but noted that it user up 2G of hard drive space. I'm not worried! Looks like MSFT is going to loose a little weight if they were planning on eating SUNW's lunch.

Well, I'd take that bet except for the fact that as a trader posting about TA on the SUNW thread, your lifespan here is historically limited. My bet is you won't be around on Dec/31 to collect from. :) See, that's the difference between you and twister. twister is a fundamental investor. He may not be very good* at at, but I know he'll still *be here on Jan 1 2001 (with the same dilly bar smears all over his face). That video thing is a good idea. One could digitally film an exploding rooster and then slow it down 90%. It'd be a cool Java applet. :) BTW, here's a /. link w/ discussion on a recent Intel (Rambus) motherboard problem. For whatever it's worth. slashdot.org -JCJ
