Sure is easier to read the old porch... I walk away from my computer for a few hours and, BAM! I have another 100 posts to read over here. Geesh! :^) I've found a good use for the old porch... When I clicked on the page that lists the last 40 posts, I noticed something... Those huge bold firey red letters give off a lot of UV radiation. I'm working on my tan, right now. Earlier I cooked a hotdog by holding it 6 inches from my monitor... It tasted pretty good. However instead of having the little burnt grill marks (like when you cook them on a barbecue), these hotdogs get markings that are a little different... The following sentence gets branded into them: "PORCH CLOSED"< /i>---MOVED TO NEW LOCATION AS FOLLOWS: HeeHaw! ...not quite sure why "< /i>" is needed in that sentence. Perhaps that is part of the power supply for the high intensity UV rays... -Clappy <Clappy goes upstairs and grabs a bagel and creamcheese and attempts to toast it using his new computer monitor toaster oven...> Whew! It sure is tough typing this stuff with those huge oven mitts on my hands...

<font color=BLUE>MARKET SNAPSHOT--Major averages set to gain Will tech stocks find buyers? By Julie Rannazzisi, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 8:39 AM ET Sep 12, 2000 NewsWatch Latest headlines NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - With the Nasdaq down nearly 5 percent over the past couple of trading days and hovering at 4-week lows, market watchers wonder whether tech stocks will find sponsorship Tuesday from bargain hunters. The rotation out of tech and into other area of the market - like retail and financial stocks - has continued over the past sessions as investors continued to bail out of technology issues on the heels of heightened concerns over future profit growth. Judging by the action in the futures markets, buyers are lining up in the tech arena. December S&P 500 futures added 2.50 points and were trading roughly 5.00 points above fair value, according to figures provided by HL Camp & Co. Nasdaq futures, meanwhile, rose 37.00 points, or 0.9 percent, reversing earlier losses. In shares seeing action before the official start of trading, Oakley (OO: news, msgs) climbed $2.50 above Monday's official NYSE close, to $19 in Instinet. The company said late Monday that it expects to report a profit from operations of at least 21 cents a share, well ahead of the 18 cents expected by First Call. In the Treasury arena, the 10-year Treasury note added 3/32 to yield ($TNX: news, msgs) 5.76 percent and the 30-year Treasury bond climbed 12/32 to yield ($TYX: news, msgs) 5.71 percent. Over on the economic front, while no data is set for release on Tuesday, market watchers are bracing for the onslaught of fresh news on the inflation and consumer spending front due out later in the week. View Economic Preview, economic calendar and forecasts and historical economic data. In the currency arena, dollar/yen (C_JPY: news, msgs) added 0.2 percent to 106.31 while euro/dollar (C_EUR: news, msgs) gained 0.4 percent to 0.8618.
