Jim "Cornbread" Willie: No, I tend to agree with you. I see two scenarios as follows: 1.) Like we have talked about in recent weeks, a little pullback in mid or late September. Essentially post Labor Day stuff. Nothing bad like 3650 stuff. Then a run again, with another pullback that would set it up for a nice run by year end. Or, and this is where I have changed my thinking a bit, 2.) A pullback now, but again, nothing terribly bad like 3650 stuff. Rather, just something to shack the trees for awhile. Then a gradual climb to 5000 to year end. Up a little, then back, up a little, then back. Ya know, the old up 3, down 2 rule of thumb. Back in the spring, I think we talked about scenario 2, given the first few months of the year and the Naz pullback then. Critters in my family tree you ask? Yes, there were.... BULLS! BTW, my sign is Taurus the Bull! RR

Hi JW (and all); Just curious, While I am not a computer "expert". The dire prediction of slowdown in computer sales. Seems to be "bogus" (feel free to fill in your own favorite adjective). The pentium IV's (sextiums) which will be comming out later this year are 64 bit systems that will run much faster, cooler and longer (6 hours for a notebook computer because of the 0.15 micron chip ( I think I got that right). Nearly instantaneous voice recognition training time will lead to a new generation of software applications. Perhaps this should be used as a buying opportunity for intel). The only slowness in computer sales may be trying to get rid of the "old" pentium III's, but then again WDIK? Regards, David
