Hi K, still daytrading Dell and others on the long side, no shorts. I do think the NAS is due for a breather/pullback though, so I'm a bit more careful this week. Those pocket PC's look to be neat gadgets, but almost $700 for the latest and greatest? I can well afford it, but that seems like a steep price, so we just picked up an HP Jornada 520 via a closeout at Office Depot for $199. Color screen, but the older version of Win PocketPC software. At $199 it's a deal, at $700, NOT!!! Regards, John PS - I'll be watching more carefully for 'crack PR flak Reid' in print from now on. Very entertaining!!!

Kaka. A cow giving advice to Gateway's CEO? I don't understand GTW's thinking. They must be approaching it from the "warm and fuzzy" feeling syndrome. A strain running through ad agencies these days is that if you get someone feeling "warm and fuzzy" you can sell them more merchandise. At least Dell's ad is appealing to the female...female's (wife) in the family are tending toward greater responsibility in computer purchase decisions. The general rule has been that DAD makes the decision...but Dell has focused otherwise. It's MOM.
