THE INTERNET IS VIRTUALLY AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING Ain't it the truth! No company can grow and keep up with the changes that are underfoot, that's why they have to go out and encourage others to take on the same vision. TP

Thanks Kemble. The internet is virtually a black-hole-like technological absorption medium. Everything that is falling upon it becomes so misunderstood that valuations, extrapolations, exuberance, concomitance and other understandings become something no one has experienced before or can put judgement on. I keep hearing allot of that on those financial TV programs these days; "I donno what to make of it. It's nothing I've ever seen before" When referring to the current market conditions and reactions, especially NASDAQ. I think this is starting to scare the heck out of allot of the experts and it may be why were seeing them run to the big value money flow Corps. anyway Dell is right there waiting for them! It's also nice to have the Republican's and Democrat's at each other which keeps them both trying to outdo one another where the economy and the people's money is concerned.<g> TTOSBT

Hi Kemble! Dell moved up in rank on the Fortune 500 list, but don't call Dell an Internet Company! :)Leigh "Dell Computer Co.(DELL: news, msgs), the largest seller of computers in the country, went to 56 from 78." cbs.marketwatch.com AOL breaks into Fortune 500 Amgen is first biotech to make list Last Update: 6:05 PM ET Apr 2, 2000 NewsWatch NEW YORK (AP) - Despite the startling rise in high-tech firms, just one purely Internet company - America Online Inc. - broke into the ranks of the Old Economy stalwarts this year, and only at No. 337 in the annual Fortune 500. Updated 04/02/2000 5:14:24 PM ET Other technology companies benefiting from the Internet boom climbed in the magazine's rankings, but aside from AOL (AOL: news, msgs) there was little evidence of the Internet start-ups that have turned twentysomethings into millionaires because the list is based on 1999 revenue, not the companies' stock values. MCI Worldcom Inc.(WCOM: news, msgs), one of the world's largest carriers of Internet traffic, hit No. 25, up from No. 80, in the list released Sunday and appearing in the magazine's Apil 17 issue. Dell Computer Co.(DELL: news, msgs), the largest seller of computers in the country, went to 56 from 78. Microsoft Corp.(MSFT: news, msgs), the company with the highest market value, rose to 84 from 109, and Cisco Systems Inc.(CSCO: news, msgs), which makes equipment for the Internet, advanced to 146 from 192. AOL wasn't the only history-maker. Amgen Inc.(AMGN: news, msgs) became the first biotechnology company, landing at 463. And Hewlett-Packard Co.(HWP: news, msgs), No. 13, was the highest-ranking Fortune 500 company with a female chief executive, Carleton Fiorina. General Motors Corp.(GM: news, msgs) remained No. 1 for the 12th consecutive year, with revenues of $189 billion, but Ford Motor Co. dropped from second to fourth place, displaced by fast-growing retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc.(WMT: news, msgs), previously in third. GM's lead over Wal-Mart, which had $166 billion in revenue, may look sizable, but Wal-Mart has had annual growth in the double digits for more than a decade while GM's revenue dropped in 1998. In third place was oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp.(XOM: news, msgs), following the merger of Exxon Corp., previously No. 4, and Mobil Corp., ranked No. 6 in 1998. General Electric Co.(GE: news, msgs) remained fifth in revenue, but led in profits, stuffing its coffers with $10.7 billion. The grandfather of computer companies, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM: news, msgs) stayed in sixth place, followed by Citigroup Inc.(C: news, msgs), also unchanged from last year. AT&T Corp. (T: news, msgs) climbed from 10th to eighth, pushing down Philip Morris Cos. Inc. (MO: news, msgs) to ninth. Boeing Co. (BA: news, msgs) fell from ninth to 10th. Investment bank Goldman Sachs Group Inc.(GS: news, msgs), which went public last year, is the highest-ranked newcomer, at No. 54. Total profits for the 500 corporations grew 28.7 percent, thanks to a roaring economy and a recovery from the Asian financial crisis, which pulled earnings down by 1.8 percent in 1998. Revenues grew by 10.2 percent, also an improvement on 1998 growth of 4 percent. ¸ 2000 The Associated Press - All Rights Reserved.
