>> For equipment, do you mean for video conferencing or just setting up the computer connection -- I use roadrunner and have not been doing home vieo conferencing, << Not familiar with roadrunner. But by equipment I meant the cable modem and the network interface card (NIC) that goes inside the computer. And of course the wire that brings the cable into the home. For video conference I use an intel camera that connects thru a USB port, and the normal speakers and sound card of the computer. Windows 95/98/ME all support a microsoft program called netmeeting that you can connect with another computer through internet. You need to know their IP address. Which is assigned by the cable company (and stays stable) if you use cable modem. If you use dialup it is different each time so it makes things impractical. I can give you more detail if you want. Regarding market. My acct is up 60% YTD. As a funny anecdote. I had sold out of my itwo yesterday at 21+. So this AM I saw itwo at 16+ and bought double my usual amount. Bought arba, too. Both are doing well after hours. I don't know why arba is up, but I bought it strictly because it was going up on heavy volume. Glad we're on the same (profitable) side of the market this time. Fridays have been the rally stoppers for a long time. I would normally expect tomorrow to be a sell-off. But with a good report from IBM and msft, I think the disk drives will fly (a little higher). I am getting close to my sell-all point. Good luck to you.
