[ WSTL ] Hi, Jim. The way WSTL is acting a Double Bottom near 14.00 may be an entry point. If it stops there. It's off 15/16 to 1.00 so far today at this point. Are you still looking at it? Ray

<<Genie Wie, who is using the exceptional Nicolo Amati violin c. 1635>>> Well Jim, at least someone got their Amati. Your post was wonderful. The history of the Amati violin was fascinating. A name to be proud of. The name had influenced me in getting involved with the stock. It just seemed to be the right investment. I hope Texas Instruments or Westell has enough class to allow the name to survive with their ADSL/DMT product in some manner. The way things are bought, sold, traded, and merged today makes everything seem disposable and transitory--great accomplishments whose ownership lasts only as long as the next leveraged buyout. It lacks the tangible value one sees in those priceless violins. Hoping to see you back at that cafe in Cremona, Michael

Good idea. The Amati thread has morphed in the last 18 months. Today, "Amati" is a proxy for "BAND-WIDTH," and we have an extremely well informed band-width thread calling itself Amati. So change the name (how I don't know) and continue the association until the world is one fiber network or we die of old age. On this score, I am the closest. John from Del Mar

[What's in a name?] <<<The name Amati was chosen by Cioffi, as people close to him had said he created an Amati. An Amati is a violin of excellent quality and heritage.>>> Ame means the spirit or soul in French. Ami is friend. Either one connected to ti is fine with me. :) Though John Pollard's more accurate in saying Amati's come to stand for bandwidth and to that end I'm all for leaving the name as is. If Amati succeeds in convincing TI to keep its name on the technology, the thread may survive without any need to explain. And you're right about the cadre of friends we've developed and the ease with which we can drop by and ask a question --- or share something we've found --- and know we'll get a response if not within a couple hours then certainly in a day or so. Vive l'Amati! Pat

I think that maintaining on ongoing dialog about xDSL and broadband tech. is an excellent idea. Without the pretense of self interest I think we can all continue to contribute and learn a great deal in a much better environment.
