John, actually when you look at history in HWP it was quite a bit lower last year. I was on the thread touting it at 50 but did not go into it until it hit the 60s. You are right, it goes up and down like a yo yo, but I will hang in there. I am still hoping for a good move in CPQ and some move in Intel. Sonny

COMPAQ, which last year helped ignite the hot sub-$1,000 category of PCs, will introduce a new line of Presario computers aimed at home and small business customers Tuesday. And, in a move that could intensify an already-heated pricing environment for microprocessors, some of these machines will be powered by ADVANCED MICRO DEVICE's K6 chip - an alternative to INTEL CORP's Pentium II. Compaq will unveil 15 new Presarios Tuesday, with three desktop machines and one notebook powered by the K6. Still, most of the computers will use Intel's Pentium II chips. (Reuters 10:36 PM ET 01/05/98) For the full text story, see full story Intel Corporation (INTC) The battle to capture home buyers of PCs heated up Monday with HEWLETT PACKARD's launch of a $799 system, a move aimed directly at the fastest growing segment of home PC sales. Over the past year, H-P's competitors, led by COMPAQ, have aggressively raced to offer "sub-$1,000" PCs as consumers flocked to low-cost machines. HP's new, lowest cost system is at a suggested price of $799, which matches the retail price of a system offered by Compaq. Also, it is the first at the price to include a processor made by INTEL CORP. Analysts said the move could mean an edge in attracting brand-conscious customers.

The Justice Department said in it latest court filing -- part of a nearly nonstop salvo between the Redmond, Washington, software firm and the government -- that Microsoft has made "unfounded and overblown" accusations against Lessig. The government also revealed that last year Lessig, a computer expert, e-mailed a senior lawyer he knew at NETSCAPE COMMUNICATIONS CORP to question whether or not Microsoft's Web browser might have "screwed up" his Web page bookmarks.
