You don't get it, Marv. This market has no memory. And it gets desensitized real quick. While CNBS and the press talk incessantly day after day about legal appeals and counterappeals and legal mumbo jumbo, Joe Six Pack will tune out and buy on earnings, buy on news, buy cause its Microsoft. I am not a big softie fan, and I sold my calls today because I see a trading range for a while, but if I ever saw the 50's you talk about I would be surprised and buying like crazy.

Marvin, you old Socialist, you. I specially like that part of Judge Jackson's opinion which overrules his own Appellate Court, didn't you?? (at page 18) The plaintiffs allege that Microsoft's combination of Windows and Internet Explorer by contractual and technological artifices constitute unlawful tying to the extent that those actions forced Microsoft's customers and consumers to take Internet Explorer as a condition of obtaining Windows. While the Court agrees with plaintiffs, and thus holds that Microsoft is liable for illegal tying under õ 1, this conclusion is arguably at variance with a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in a closely related case ________________________________________ . I feel the ruling will not be reversed on appeal since the judge appeal proofed(sic) his verdict
