re: Dresdner Upgrade Will wonders never cease ... Per must be on vacation ... 7:28AM Nokia upgraded at Dresdner (NOK) 12.55: Dresdner out of Europe upgrades to BUY from Sell due to valuation; while firm remains concerned about NOK's ability to weather harsher competitive landscape in handsets, their belief in the long-term growth prospects of the wireless industry-- propelled by color screens, camera phones, and an array of visual applications-- is intact. - Eric -

<But mostly it's out of desperation. Since the beginning of the year, Nokia has seen its shares halved> Same old revealing freudian projection, the actual future of the growth industry of upgrading WinBloath-and-Crash every second year for $100. Btw, has Bill returned from his secluded project of trying to figure out handsets and the future?? Intersting, with 120GB, frmrly IBM, now Hitachi, harddrives one cannot even fill up the the windows/bloath directories fast enough to slow everything to a halt, although crashes still are a possibility. (well, PCHEALTH, bloathed registry files and restores, internet histories, caches still do their little tasks, everything gradually slows down more and more, except for a reformat and reinstall) Maybe, if all the steaming videos would go into the systemdirectories too, not just all the regular system crap?? Ilmarinen There is, obviously, one real chance for WinBloath, kind of Perot-style, come out with a really good back-up program which needs at least 500TByte of space in the windows directory?? Hmm, steaming along at DVD speed at 3MBps.. well, lets simplify, say 1MBps, it takes 120,000second to fill up 120GB, that is something around 2,000 minutes, less than 40 hours, a couple of days. But with just 100 times larger harddrives, it turns out to be a year, and only then do one start feeling the urge for a new PC and new WIndows version?? But if one could make sure there is a need for full steeaming backup every week, that pain could come much sooner?? The other solution is to look at the problem in a different way, kind of like CSPAN, one cent per cable box, focused on Newt picking his nose. (why does CSPAN have such lousy small hard drives, limiting access to so many archived programs, and almost all within some 20-30 days)
