I noticed DY(earnings Monday, August 28)was mentioned also Friday. Telecom hardware with good growth. ANDW seems to have broken the downtrend at the moment.

'Automatic checkout systems'. I don't see any of those in this area but evidently they are being used somewhere. MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2000-- Optimal Robotics Corp. (NASDAQ: OPMR - news), North America's leading provider of self-checkout systems to retailers, today announced record results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000. All references are to U.S. dollars. Optimal Robotics reported record revenues of $16,123,099 for the second quarter as compared to $7,023,259 for the same period of 1999, an increase of 130%. This significant growth in revenue was the result of increased sales of Optimal Robotics' core product, the U-Scan® Express self-checkout system. Net earnings for the quarter were a record $1,433,898 or $.11 per share as compared to net earnings of $428,362 or $.05 per share for the second quarter of 1999, an increase of 235%. Fully diluted earnings per share are not reported because they are anti-dilutive. During the second quarter, the Company installed 158 U-Scan® Express systems, the largest quarterly number of installations in its history, and an increase of 132% from 68 systems installed in the second quarter of 1999. For the six months, the Company installed 273 U-Scan® Express systems, an increase of 129% from 119 systems installed in the first six months of 1999. OPMR did a have patent infringement problem last year, that is supposed to be settled in their favor now.(Can't find the news article for it right now) That maybe some of the problem with it still. If your Techno-fundie scans are starting to show these 'hardware systems' guys, they do have some comeback to make, possibly before the Semi's get fully corrected? Watching and stalking :) Roger
