Don I understood exactly what you were saying and I used apple as an example of why wall street does not care about SGI. This 5 minutes. I express optimism towards SGI based on all the things I know about SGI and the common sense business choices I seen made by Mr. Bishop and company.

Don, you ascribe to me position that I don't hold. I don't consider MSFT the evil empire, I do believe that after win3.11 msft engaged in practices that were overall more harmful than beneficial to the advancement of ?? the economy and technology.

Applix may in fact be turning around because they have refocused on the technology that I thought they owned that was valuable in the first place. Real time analytics. I always said with applix that name recognition because of Linux could help them with their core technology strength. Applix got mis-focused and tried to make money directly with linux. My posts on lnux and rhat and corl have always been that the companies stock was worth less than 5 bucks a share. Lnux maybe worth a little more.

And by the way Don, I made a bag of bucks on aplx and I think I gave it back on lucent. Over the years on SGI I think I'm somewhat ahead. But I'm hoping to make a bag of bucks on SGI.
