Dell sniffing at Sunw? From briefing.com: "...11:06 ET Sun Microsystems follow-up 3.60 +0.26: Stock has risen as much as 10.2% today on heavy volume (already 1.3x stock's avg full day total) amid market chatter of takeover possibilities. At this point, the rumor does not appear to have made it past trading floors. But after asking around, the idea of a SUN Micro takeover isn't being perceived as far-fetched. One analyst we've spoken with this morning thinks that an acquisition of SUNW by Dell Computer could create an opportunity for Dell to extend server roadmap into UNIX camp. Would note that this analyst hasn't heard the SUNW rumor, this is just his opinion on whether a buy of SUNW, by anyone, would make sense...." ======================================================== If Dell made an offer, it would indeed help them get to the next level and deep into the enterprise customer. Maybe it would allow the shareholder to realize better opportunities with M. Dell as the leader than Scotty. EKS

Dear Charles: Anything Congress does, Congress can UNDO so I dont think there is anything to fear but fear itself. Action is what we need right now. You and I of all people ought to want to get this market moving big time. Its MY opinion that if we had a more robust stock market everything else would take care of itself. For instance, I absolutely REFUSE to sell my better stocks at these prices, that means I am cash poor. Since I always pay CASH for everything I cant even buy a new car though my net worth is in the 7 figures. jdn
