Dale & Rock, I think I've figured out the storage sector, i.e., why some stocks, (BRCD & EMLX), continue to do well while others tank: The Gee Whiz Factor! Here's how the sector breaks down: SUNW, Compaq, IBM, etc. -- Oh, they make gigantic hard drives. <yawn> I've seen one of them. Heck, I even added one to my kid's PC. Who cares? (Yeah, I know, IBM does well, but that's 'cuz it's "BIG BLUE," not because of storage per se.) McData -- Huh? What? You've got to be kidding? Hasn't McDonalds sued these people for trademark infringement yet? BRCD & EMLX -- WOW! I just spent 57 hours reading "White Papers" from BRCD & EMLX. I have NO f*ing idea what they mean, but GEE WHIZ** they have some really impressive charts and graphics. Whatever those thingamajiggamabobbers are that they make, they must be revolutionary! NTAP -- did real well when everything did real well by promising "solutions" just as complex and whiz-bang as anything EMLX or BRCD put out, only cheaper, less complicated, and easier to use. (Yes, I know that's contradictory to what I said before, but we're talking about the stock market here, not reality!) Now that tech has tanked, NTAP just doesn't sound complex enough anymore. See how easy it is to understand? All it takes is an utter lack of any technical knowledge whatsoever. augie
