Tunica & ALL: Here is an article which talks about the MSFT/SUN-TCI deals around cable boxes. Also mentions car PCs. joey Gates Announces Windows CE deal With TCI (01/11/98; 2:39 p.m. EST) By Andy Patrizio, TechWeb LAS VEGAS -- One day after Sun Microsoft announced a deal with cable giant Tele-Communications, Microsoft chairman and CEO Bill Gates took the stage in a keynote speech here at the International Consumer Electronics Show on Saturday to steal Sun's thunder. TCI has agreed to embed Windows CE and WebTV technology in up to 5 million set-top boxes, due to be deployed by early next year. This is in addition to the Sun agreement, where TCI would embed PersonalJava in up to 12 million set-top boxes. Developers would then have the choice of developing either for Win CE and WebTV or PersonalJava, Gates said. Gates also pointed to plans to bring Win CE into consumer electronic devices in Microsoft's attempt to put Win CE anywhere and everywhere electronic. "The PC has become an information appliance, but the PC won't be the only tool of the information age," he said. People want information available to them wherever they go, Gates said, and for lightweight appliances to succeed, they need to communicate with other data sources. "None will succeed if they are stand-alone," he said. Motorola CEO Chris Galvin announced the alliance between the two companies during the Gates keynote, in which Microsoft CE would be used in Motorola's line of Flex wireless devices. These include palmtop computers, which look like Apple's Newton handheld computers. Using infrared ports between two systems, Flex-based products reportedly could exchange data between wireless devices and a desktop computer running Windows. Gates also took for a test-drive AutoPC, a voice-recognition system for cars that is said to retrieve e-mail and recite it to the user while driving. AutoPC is also said to use a Global Positioning Satellite system to help drivers find where they are going. It also reportedly lets drivers make cellular phone calls totally hands-free. Gates said AutoPC could hit the market by the end of this year.

Tunica, from what you wrote, it seems like Kurlack, the Camelion, is about to change spots with regards to Intel once again. I wondering if he's been buying here in the high-60s, low 70s <ggg>. joey

Tunica, Re: Asia situation is just what the doctor ordered to cool the temperature of this hot bull market, ( it's better than raising interest rates ), makes us more competitive. I totally agree. Just before the Asian situation the center of everyday consciousness, the speculation was made daily on how soon it would be before the Fed raised rates again to snuff out the inflation they saw coming. How quickly perceptions change. Hope you're enjoying your day today. Barry

TA, thanks for the update on Tom Kurlack. I guess he wanted to upgrade Intel after it has gone up more. Looks like some investors are beating him to the punch. As you noticed Intel is doing more than just holding up at this point. Let's hope it keeps on going. A good earnings report and conf. call would help. I see Kurlack is down from the 90 earnings consensus not counting this analyst from Loewenbaum who is calling for a lot higher number. Yes, I saw Abbey Cohen. I think she is calling for the mid 8500 or a little higher. A lot of the analysts are calling for the 9000 area. I think I like the last number better. At least we have one consistent bull in our corner. Intel and Msft are a core holding for her. It looks like investors are starting to listen to her again. Ok, they have driven the markets down a lot in Asia. They are trying to convince us to nibble a bit. I think I pass and find more of our own downbeaten stocks. Sonny
