Russ....Mark Haines mentioned one morning that he owned GTW. That was some time ago, so perhaps he's sold by now. Anyway, for him to name ANY of the stocks in his own portfolio is WAY OUT OF LINE!

Kernan has become more a poor entertainer than a good information source. I watch Bloomberg on USA til 8am Eastern and wish it was on all day.

Russ, >What an ambush Mark Haines just pulled on Compaq. He did the exact same thing to Capellas yesterday. In fact, reading your first line, copied above, I thought you were going to be recapping the Capellas interview. You are exactly right about Morgan's handling also. I agree even though I own some AMAT. I guess Compaq gets the Rodney Dangerfield treatment on CNBC right now. Show it in the numbers, building on last quarter, is what I guess they have to do, to put the poorer treatment behind. Haines, I thought, should know better though. Tony
