Pat: <<Any idea which company may get very busy soon?>> USMC, Company "A" ? Raytheon? IMO This will be the decade of the computer and the Web. Dell led the charge to reduce computer to costs from $2500 to near $500. Thats only 11 tanks of fuel for my van , a seat at the opera,or a trip to Disneyland and .thus now affordable With 180 countries supporting the coalition there is a need to track terrorists activities instantly world-wide. Phone calls wont cut it, too slow, can forget what was said, cannot understand the many languages. Stand in line in Mexico after signing up at the one phone office in town who may with luck put your call on list for two hours later ( if the phones are working) E-mail , video conferencing in the upper agencies, and software to convert the many languages. Messages stored and reviewable. All types of security measures and virus prevention. Hi-speed internet access becomes mandatory. My crummy 56 k ISP would never do it. Its shut down for maintenance once a day. Sometimes takes 1/2 hour to get on line even when its working I have to restart computer maybe once every two hours Mobile phones with GPS location tracking. Some surplus dark fibers in the transcontinental cables and cities will now be lit. A few men of vision saw ahead of time the need to put this technology to work, Michael was one of them Some wonder why Dell does not invent things, a new set-top box, a supercomputer, a multi-colored Apple look-alike. Who can compute the billions now to saved by government agencies, companies, and the taxpayers (in building this terrorist-tracking war machine) as a result of Dells persistent cost cutting agenda.? Sig ( just ramblin on)

Don't they call that "expensing them" not depreciating them?-Should have been that way years ago.

Patrick, Hi!! RE: Any idea which company may get very busy soon? Sounds to me as if DELL is doing quite well right now...Let's face it the others are hurtin' for certain...IMO the model has shined in this economic funk far greater than my optimism could spout...Sure, we're down a $Billion in revenues from last year (take or give a few bucks)but look at the destruction the DELL plan has caused on the others...Sure, I'd love to see a world wide uptick in the corporate market and especially have Congress give this incentive to corporations immediately...How fast anyone would move on this is conjecture..But, one thing for sure it would move the projected ramp for mid 2002 up considerably... Flag business here booming...Traveled to Kingston this morning...Flag displays on cars, boats, houses, roofs, motorcycles, trucks, stores,etc...have easily doubled in the last two weeks...Gas stations handing out flag stickers with purchase...Even saw a guy riding a cut Harley with a four foot flag somehow mounted out the back hanging high above...Geez, Patrick, even you'd be proud of NY... :o) Best, Kemble
