For the contrarians these numbers are bullish< John F. Dowd, Please consider this. From Top to Bottom and all around us we see probably false numbers every hour on the hour. Who wants to be a Contrarian? HOT TIP FROM GERMAN BARBER SHOPS. DT is a double-upper. Good until German Election Time. BTW. Shorts got a terrible bashing and message last week. They probably assumed DT was a push over. But messing with our Mr.Eichel who has printer assisted deep pockets has a terrible price tag. The Clowns are laughing. What a squeeyyeezee! Regards, ED

To All: I really can't see the weakness here especially during a terrible period for IT Sales. Chief Financial Officer John Connors said in an interview that sales of the new Windows XP operating system and other desktop computer software remained strong. He said the company increased its sales to corporate customers despite the slow down in technology spending. The company also reported high enrollment in a new licensing program for businesses and governments that requires them to make annual payments for automatic upgrades. Microsoft plans to add 5,000 employees to its roughly 50,000 work force, with 30 percent to 40 percent of the new hires in the Puget Sound region. The positions are for research and development, sales and support, Connors said. Microsoft said that sales of its new Xbox video game consoles reached 3.9 million for the fiscal year. The company slashed the price on its Xbox by $100 a console to $199 in May but doesn't have plans to change its price, said marketing director John O'Rourke. Microsoft's MSN Internet access business also made gains, with 8.7 million subscribers, up by 700,000 customers. JFD
