From WSJ, Bill Gate is just a copy-cat and it shows :

The Wall Street Journal -- February 12, 1998
Technology Journal: Digits

[Gambits and gadgets in the world of technology]

A testy Bill Gates belittled a questioner at a recent press session for asking
whether new handheld computers running Microsoft Corp. software, called
Palm PCs, might be confused with the most popular handheld, the
PalmPilot from 3Com Corp. Both are about the same size and do many of
the same things.

"Do you think somebody's confused about what this is?" asked Microsoft's
chairman, turning a sleek, gray Palm PC prototype in his hand. "Theirs is a
PalmPilot and ours is a Palm PC. This is a device you can hold in your
palm. It relates to a PC."

He grew increasingly irritated when the reporter pressed the issue about
confusion in the marketplace -- a complaint 3Com raised with Microsoft a
few months ago. "It strikes me as beyond bizarre that you think we should
change our naming. If we were an unsuccessful software company, it would
have been OK? I mean, weird." When Mr. Gates departed for his next
appointment, he left the Palm PC on the table. A few minutes later, an
assistant rushed back, exclaiming, "Bill forgot his PalmPilot!"

lin,
You are right, we need to break 36. If it happens tomorrow with volume, I would expect the buyers will start coming out of the woodwork. If we get another pop, many buyers may conclude that earnings will be better than expected. I don't think they will hold off until the March announcement.

These are interesting times.
Regards
David
