Jim- Re: If you've been following the thread you might remember that Paul was going to sell in the high thirties before the last earnings report. He says he held on...so if you read between the lines he must have had a change of heart about AMDs future prospects going forward. OTOH, you may never get a straight answer. Based upon the way Paul has acted the past few weeks, one could make the case he took a rather larger short position in AMD in January. He sure seems to be on the edge lately. BTW- I've been following the thread since November. BTW, I haven't officially said hello yet. Hello. What web page maker do they use at IBM? regards, Jim Jim, Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to finally be a member. We use "net.commerce" to make web sites for AS/400's. Most of our customers have websites working, but are having huge problems because they are attempting to run their website on a NT server. I have some funny stories about what some customers have to do to keep their NT servers stable. I also have some pretty impressive stories about how stable the AS/400 is. It's a tough sell though, a $250,000 AS/400 provides equal power of $20,000-30,000 worth of NT servers. AS/400's can be run for years without downtime, but how much is that worth? Anyways, net.commerce uses C++, SQL, HTML, net.data, and Java. If they want back end integration, things can get trickier with more products being needed. You can read about net.commerce at:www-4.ibm.com Net.commerce will be part of "WebSphere commerce suite" at some point very soon. Net.commerce covers about 60% of functionality for any website, such as secure log on. We just have to customize the site and add all of the customers data. chic
