Ann, OTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOT OTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOT OTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOT Ann, precious Ann. I'm just going to have to sit you down and explain some things. Are you sitting down? OK. You know the article you URLd today, the one that contained the following couple of paragraphs among a few more, and you implied it may help INTC?:Through the agreement, the partners will deliver integrated backup and media management capabilities for Windows NT users and bring the automated data protection functionality traditionally available only in large, UNIX-based data centers to Windows NT environments. The initiative will simplify administration of distributed storage in Windows NT enterprise networks, while lowering storage management costs. Under the terms of the agreement, ADIC will offer a network storage solution that will combine a new, single-server version of VERITAS' NetBackup with ADIC's new FastStor DLT storage system. The partnership will break new ground in Windows NT data protection by providing close integration between VERITAS storage management software and a range of ADIC automated tape libraries. This integration will make built-in failover -- the capability for one backup device to take over automatically when another fails -- widely and economically available for Windows NT networks. Now, do you know how many people on SI, besides you and me ;-], much less the typical Wall Street investor, know anything about this stuff? The article didn't even say Intel, or Microsoft. I do agree they among others are the ones that will benefit. However, unless Andy Grove himself says Intel is going to have 90% of the world's money in the Intel vault by 1999, or Kurlak says BUY, not much in the news affects stock price. Nice upgrade by Prudential today, though. Still, stay young, vivacious, and (what's the right word) ah, hopeful. Tony
