Frank, Nice to hear from you. Message 15623139 Frank, The following post says it all Message 15623751 During our 50 day cruise from, with more than 30 port stops, we visited Job's grave. You do remember him? He has been dead quite a long time. I think that he lived before Moses. Let me refresh your memory: A. JOB'S LOSSES IN ONE DAY... 1. His oxen, donkeys, and their servants to Sabean raiders 2. His sheep and their servants to "fire from God from heaven" 3. His camel and their servants to Chaldean raiders 4. His sons and daughters are killed in a tornado B. JOB'S REACTION TO THESE LOSSES... 1. He mourns, of course a. Tears his robe b. Shaves his head c. Falls to the ground 2. But then he worships! a. In grief, he still praises God b. Even though he considers God as the One who has done all these things 1) He blesses the name of the Lord 2) He does not charge with wrong God humbles Job (Book of Job 38:1 - 42:6) and also makes humble carl so humble that the Humble One can't stand himself! My son and daughters have not been killed in a tornado! My test was easy compared to the test that God gave Job. I too like Job praise the Lord: "He sure has been good to this poor old humble man!" [But why did I have to give up lavish living of Wine, Women and Whiskey and my 5 Star trips and hotel stays? All I can say is: The Lord sure works in mysterious ways!] Did I pass the test?...piously humble carl PS: I still got a lot of Intel. PM me if I didn't give you a straight answer

Hi Frank and Thread, RE: "do you see any decent recovery of techs in the future?" Niles just figured out that this semi wreck (pun intended) is worse than 1996, never mind the fact that Grove had already said this economic climate is on the order of 1985 per a news article. The prices keep looking more attractive, but who knows which way the stock is headed short-term, or any semi stock for that matter. Motorola...at an 8-year low. I don't own the stock, but a friend of mine does. Has been in his family since the 50's or thereabouts, passed down through 2 generations. They won't sell it, as it has a lot of sentimental value for the family. I doubt they're enjoying what appears to be the worse semi year. (I agree with Nile's claim). One thing about Intel though, it seems like it's in a much stronger position than the situation they had during their difficult transition in 1985, where folks told me Intel's future wasn't clear. Regarding recovery... every day, your computer gets older, and when XP comes out, folks will need to upgrade their PCs to keep up. Intel's continued entry into the Server market will be quite helpful. While nw comm market may be cloudy at the moment, it's probably only the degree of growth that's the question. XP will probably make a nice upgrade path for P4, as time goes on. All this takes time though. Regards, Amy J

Greenspan thinks the tech sector is the only one hurting.......Aetna warns on 1Q Insurer cites higher medical costs, says full-year forecast in question April 10, 2001: 8:45 a.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Aetna Inc. warned Tuesday that first-quarter earnings will be lower than expected and that it can't confirm its previous forecast for full-year 2001 results. The company blamed increased medical costs due to greater use of health-care services. The Hartford, Conn.-based insurer did not provide a revised first-quarter figure, but analysts on average were expecting the company to earn 28 cents a share, according to earnings tracker First Call. The company also said it cannot confirm the $1.20 to $1.30 a share earnings it projected for 2001. Analysts on average are expecting 2001 earnings of $1.24 a share.
