HG: There are people who cannot stand to have anybody disagree with them -- that would not be you would it?

one can say bears are bullish about demise of technology.... Again, Happy, I have to disagree with you. As I've mentioned in many previous posts, I've been a bear for most of the past six to nine months. However, I am a firm believer in technology. I've worked in the technology industry for the past 12 years (from 1988-1992 at Dynamic Solutions, 1992-1997 at Microsoft and from 1997 to the current date at Softagon Corporation, my own company). I'm a firm believer in technology - most of my days are spent writing software code or advising large companies on how to deploy technology. I've even written three books on developing software applications: amazon.com amazon.com amazon.com Yet, as a firm believer in technology, I can still question the returns investors are expecting from technology companies. The two are not mutually exclusive. Wasn't it Steve Ballmer, president of Microsoft, who late last year commented that he felt most technology stocks were over-valued? Certainly Mr. Ballmer believes in technology? No? -Eric
