I think we will probably have a retest of the lows the way we did in August and October '98. Since the market always anticipates these events, I'm looking for a drop in late April rather than waiting for the expected slow-down in May. I'm just hoping it will occur after JDSU's earnings, addition to the S&P and gov. approval of the ETEK merger.

IMHO, there is no truth to the argument that "technology is dead."
Technology is where it's at, and will be for years to come


No, I think you are wrong. Technology is dead. Consider the following.

The last PC that will ever be sold has been sold.
There will be no new internet users, ever.
China and India have been saturated with PCs and other technology.
Every school in North America and Western Europe has all of the PCs and internet access that they will ever buy.
Everything that can be invented has been invented.
The merger of internet and television has been completed.
Current equipment will never break down or become obsolete.
No new software will ever be released.
No new applications will ever be developed.
Could go on and on, but it is clear that technology is dead.

Not.
