Jan, Relax...Let go! IMO, From today our topic should be focused on "Can S3 make a come back" ? Issues: > Should S3 merge with another company with good products, but not able to mass produce? > Should S3 buy another graphic company with good products? > S3 has lost one product cycle! Can S3 deliver its next product? > What about the mgmt's composition change? George Harvey is gone (I am happy); Terry Holdt is leading; GJ ?; Walter appears fine; Others??? Should mgmt cut from their salaries to show their willingness to speed up the recovery? Should S3 eliminate GJ's last raise? > Should S3 sell more of Fab $ in near future? > Should S3 remain in Sound? They just touched that Market! Can they be aggressive with good marketing and right people? > Should S3 be more aggressive with notebook market? > Should S3 supercede their "poision pill" right? > Should S3 buy back shares now? And So on. Let's put past behind us; we learn and move on. This stock is in 5ish!!! Either we invest and lose $ 5 or we double or more in 98! MBrad

I've come to realize that my anger and my feeling of being deceived had blinded me. I had forgotten something. Hurting a company economically, or bad mouthing them simply hurts the employees of that company. The employees are not the responsible party. The officers are the responsible party, and the company as an entity is responsible. That is one obvious advantage of being a corporation. In other words, when something is done wrong, it is the company as an entity that takes the true blame. The cost of the lawsuits against S3 probably won't show up until this quarter. I already know that the lawsuits are going to be victorious, but I just wish it would be sooner. By the way, Jan, I am sorry if I SHIT ON YOUR FACE as I passed by. :P Try not to slip on the garbage that I spread around. Even though everything I have said has been FACT.
