Ibexx thanks for the news from Bloomberg ref the MSFT Suite. It really amazes me just how far off the mark people like Nader and others are. They don't understand technology or the world we live in. I listened to an interview that Nader had at NPR. He kept comparing MSFT today to GM twenty or thirty years ago; Very very sad. If you have real audio you may want to go to the link below and hear it from the horses mouth. I did think that NPR did provide some balance as they pointed out that a) consumers are not complaining b)prices are dropping c)MSFT is bringing out new and updated products. Monopolies are not known for a, b and c. Nader v. Microsoft November 13, 1997 -- Consumer advocate Ralph Nader took out his boxing gloves and turned his attention to software giant Microsoft today. Five hundred people showed up at a Nader hosted conference to talk about the company so many techies love to hate. Scott McNeely, CEO of Sun Microsystems was the keynote speaker. He led the cry against Microsoft saying the Washington State company is using its dominance in development and production of computer operating systems to get rid of competition on the 'Net. NPR's Computer Guy, John McChesney, was at the conference and talks with All Things Considered host Robert Siegel about it. http://www.npr.org/news/tech/971113.nader.html Brian

ibexx, off topiK: re: cci i belive u have cci. would you be a buyer of this company right now at this price if you did not own any. my outlook lets say is 5 yrs maybe 10. you may have bot it for a very low price so 100-116 may not be a big difference but it is actually a whole year's growth. what might be forward looking growth for cci in light of these new developements? is asian market in a short term termoil (1 yr?) or much longer term? my stock portfolio is 80% ++ in techs. Most of them great companies, but for the sake of diversification i m looking at cci. i have cnc for insurance. i have some (mrk, pfe..). do you see cci going down 102? for a buying opp?
