I had Microsoft IE 5.5 do something bizarre a few minutes ago. I've been using my sister's machine all week to access the Internet while I visit her. It's an almost new HP with strictly "stock" Microsoft software and all "critical" updates applied. A few minutes ago the "Favorites" pulldown suddenly, for no apparent reason, became inaccessible. The only way I could get it back was by exiting IE and restarting it. When I did, all the "Favorites" were alphabetized for the first time! Must be a feature. Random alphabetization. ROTFLMAO.

JC, CT, dybdahl: I don't know if you folks are short MSFT, but if you are, watch out. I get the feeling that a sharp rally is coming as there is a significant growth acceleration in microsoft business. In my opinion this growth acceleration will go on till at least another 2-3 years, producing terrific top line and bottom line growth. The first half of 2000 was the 6-8% growth period and the storm is coming after the lull. I see 20% growth in 2nd half of 2000 into Dec. and then 30% growth in 2001 and 2002.
