Congratulations, Mike. Be sure to get the PII with the LX chipset so you'll be able to get an AGP card in 1998. Dan Rather leads tonight with the MSFT story. I don't think that was warrranted, though I won't complain if the stock drops like a stone tomorrow.

Well, I'm out of the puts...played it smart I think...although MSFT price did not plunge, I probably did well just to see it slowly sink along with the rest of the techs last week. After it fell $4 today, I sold the last three puts. Heck, going from $2 to $7 was a pretty nice ride...maybe to expect more would be greedy. No fancy PII-300 for me tho...what I made on this nutty bet pays for what I'm down in my longs this past week, and being even aint bad at all.
