Dorine, I am not much into technical investing but I think I have a Dell indicator. First off, I don't want to encourage Herb falling down any more. We want him to see many Dell annual meetings. I noticed when Herb had his problem Dell stock went up very nicely. As Herb has gotten better we have Dell declining slightly. So I was wondering if next time Herb starts to feel dizzy he might let us know a few days ahead of time. :o) I hope you know I am just kidding! Were you able to find out why he fell? The surgrey treated the damage from the fall. Let's make sure there aren't any more falls! Pat

Hi Dorine! That is great news about Herb! :)Leigh markets.forbes.com - Six Startups Picked for Texas Internet Awards Mar. 11 (Austin American-Statesman/KRTBN)--Six Austin entrepreneurs topped the list of winners at Friday night's Texas eComm Ten Awards, a new ceremony created to help kick off the South by Southwest festival. Given to the state's top Internet innovators, the list included the founders of companies such as Dell Computer Corp., pcOrder.com, Travelocity.com and CyBerCorp Inc. But the real surprise wasn't the winners' identities -- it was their quantity. When weighing the 60 nominees against the ideal criteria, judges cut the list of winners from 10 to six. "We spent several hours going back and forth on whether the nominees really fit, or were the right people based on our criteria," said Gary Thompson, head of the Texas Electronic Commerce Association, a year-old Austin-based trade group for e-commerce companies that created the awards. "There was a real focus on that, because if we don't pick the best this year, the success of the program in year two will be diminished." So instead, judges created three special-recognition awards for Michael Dell, founder of Dell Computer Corp., Ross Garber, co-founder of Vignette Corp. and Todd Wagner, founder of Dallas-based Broadcast.com. Thompson said the judges chose to spotlight those three as examples of the standard against which the entrants were measured. "We wanted people who are clear examples of pioneering on the Internet, " Thompson said. "Some nominees are CEOs of major companies, but they've only been there nine months or so and it's tough to tell the impact that individual has had." The committee then picked six eComm Awards winners. The recipients were: Philip Berber, chief executive of CyBerCorp Inc.; Andrew Busey, co-founder of Living.com Inc.; Terrell Davis, president and founder of Travelocity.com Inc.; Christina Jones, co-founder of Trilogy Software Inc. and founder of pcOrder.com Inc.; Rob Shaw, founder of Houston-based Ashford.com; and Dave Sikora, founder of Ventix Systems Inc. and Question.com. Thompson said all six earned recognition both for current projects and past contributions. Dell and Andrew "Flip" Filipowski, head of divine interVentures, both gave keynote speeches before the presentations, and CBS news anchor and Austin native Dan Rather emceed the event. The 60 nominations, accepted through the World Wide Web, included 29 Austinites, 17 entrepreneurs from Dallas companies and 13 from Houston-based businesses.
