Gottfried, Thanks for the input, but I do not use IE. I use Netscape 4.7. Having said that, Netscape probably has the same kind of settings available - it just might take a little time to discover it. Don

Gottfried, I just came across the following article. I am a little late, but I have not seen it posted yet so I will do the honors. siliconstrategies.com You know, a billion here - a billion there, pretty soon you wind up with some big money.<gg> Putting this billion along side an extra 2 to 3 billion or so from AMAT starts to become an appreciable amount of money "coming out of the woodwork"! Don Samsung earnings doubled in 2000 By Jack Robertson EBN (01/16/01 10:16 a.m. PST) SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics Co. Tuesday reported net earnings of $5 billion (6.4 trillion won) in 2000, double the $2.47 billion from the previous year. The Korean giant said sales reached $26.6 billion (34.2 trillion won) for the year, up 31 percent from $20,3 billion the previous year. Officials also said Samsung Electronics will increase its capital investment to $6 billion in the current fiscal year. Previously Y. W. Lee, president of the Samsung Semiconductor group, told EBN that chip capex was slated about $5 billion this year. Samsung said it will be able to finance most of the investment out of operating funds, based on its profitability. The firm attributed its sharp jump in earnings to favorable DRAM prices for the first half of the year, and continued strong market in SRAMs, where Samsung is the global leader. Officials said the income increases, however, slowed down in the fourth quarter, when DRAM prices fell sharply and the flat panel display market softened.
