The sump is at the west end, the sink at the east. The damage is not so bad....it's just wet. (And slippery, I found out the hard way.) So I'm reverting to my normal engineering training....turn up the furnace and wait for a molecular breakdown into oxygen and hydrogen. Then call Essex Drain company and wait for the molecular breakdown of the contents of my wallet from rectangular pieces of paper into circular metal pieces suitable for trade into penny candy.

If my pattern techniques are correct, about this time should be the daily high. EDIT ~ Difficult to tell with thin trading, however.

INTC.. some thoughts. The next generation cpu from Intel is code named Merced (.. not sure why possibly a Mercedes in silicon). Anyway its a 64bit architecture that's getting a number of alliances through NT applications that never existed before. For example HWP has had an early relationship in migrating their own proprietary risc architecture to Merced, SUNW is doing this also though they got a later start. All this is on the dias in 1998-99 time frame. What's interesting to me is that both SUNW and HWP both have their own chips which they seem to be exiting the bussiness of production on to embrace first a dual operating system presense-migration to NT, perhaps to give that up altogehter. SGI is moving in that direction as are others. INTC seems to be in the drivers seat on chip development with NT migration solidifying MSFT/INTC as the brawn with competitors more and more fighting to be applications and integrator vendors. You got it... put your long term money with these two behemoths even as the government struggles to see through their monopolies. Jim

Hello Kevin I Hope you and all others on the thread had a very relaxing Christmas. I remember you saying Sat. is your birthday. So happy Birthday to you. Hope you have the wheels back on that stolen vehicle by Mon. Thanks for the MF info on LLY, TYC etc. If you get a chance could you have a look at BMY. They have bounced twice at 88.75 and look like they might be oversold short term. Have a good one and thanks in advance. kiwi

Good morning Kevin Yesterday, I had some sense of what life must be like for you For a person who imbibes relatively infrequently--I really over-did it. Now by your standards, the amount that I drank was probably what you have for starters--but for me it was a rather interesting experience. More to the point, it was a revelation for some of the people who were visiting. I am generally on the quiet side -- more a listener than a talker--but I was told that I started becoming quite loquacious and rather dominating the conversation. I then became quite philosophical for a while and thereafter started quoting lengthy passages from Shakespeare with a particular emphasis on Julius Caesar and Hamlet!!! Thereafter I became rather withdrawn -- to a point where some thought that I was sulking. The "sulking" phase ended after a few more drinks and dinner which was spectacular. We played Scrabble for a while and I used words that no one had heard of (including myself) -- the Scrabble dictionary was put to heavy use -- as I was challenged repeatedly-- and more often than not the word was in the dictionary:) A couple of the gifts I got were indicative of the aging process:) One was something that fits on my chair in the study and massages my back, shoulders and thighs on command. The other -- because I often can't remember where I left my keys--is this key chain that when one claps four times starts beeping and that way one can track the keys!!! The interesting thing, is that the latter was in such demand that it was out of stock in several places -- which tells one a little about what is happening to the the baby-boomers:) Hope that you had a good Christmas.
