Interesting, Boardwatch magazine ran the same (perhaps the same one?)kind of thing on it's cover and I never heard they got any flak. Also Boardwatch sold t-shirts and I think they still do. Gates can go to hell, what would he do if Jay Leno makes fun of him and does a skit with using the same topic? Sue everybody! What a shame wasting all that money. boardwatch.com

****OT**** Alert: Airline stocks fall on Iraq jitters United Press International - February 20, 1998 19:05 %FINANCIAL %STKS %MOVERS V%UPI P%UPI NEW YORK, Feb. 20 (UPI) - Airline stocks fell sharply Friday amid concerns about a U.S. military confrontation with Iraq, while technology issues turned in another mixed performance. Some analysts said airline issues lost ground amid fears that a U.S. military confrontation with Iraq could fuel higher fuel prices and trigger terrorist attacks on U.S. entities. American Airlines parent AMR Corp. dropped 5 13/16 to 123 7/8, United Airlines parent UAL Corp. slipped 3 1/2 to 85 1/4, Delta Air Lines Inc. slid 3 1/8 to 115 3/16 and USAir Group Inc. fell 1 15/16 to 64 1/16. Compaq Computer topped the Big Board actives, falling 7/8 to 34 1/16. Eli Lilly followed, rising 1 3/16 to 61 5/8, as the drug maker extended Thursday's rebound. Hewlett-Packard was third, ending unchanged at 64 15/16, while its fellow Dow component IBM inched down 1/8 to 102 5/8. Among other technology issues, Texas Instruments ended unchanged at 58 7/8, Micron Technology inched up 1/16 to 34 but Motorola fell 13/16 to 60 3/16. On Nasdaq, Intel was the second most active issue, rising 1 1/4 to 91 13/16. Dell Computer was third, climbing 3 9/16 to 126 5/16. Microsoft edged up 1/4 to 155 1/8 and Cisco Systems added 3/8 to 65 13/16, but Sun Microsystems fell 3/4 to 46 1/4 and Oracle eased 3/16 to 25 1/8. Ciena Corp. led the Nasdaq actives, tumbling 16 1/8 to 42. The telecommunications equipment supplier reported late Thursday fiscal first-quarter earnings of 37 cents a share on a diluted basis, well above the year-ago's 13 cents and 2 cents ahead of analysts' mean estimate. But Ciena warned of weaker-than-expected earnings in the second quarter as a result of reduced orders from WorldCom Inc., the nation's fourth largest long-distance carrier. WorldCom rose 9/16 to 39. Elsewhere on the NYSE, GTECH Holdings gained 1 15/16 to 33 9/16 after the Texas Lottery Commission decided Thursday to keep the supplier of computerized lottery products as the main operator of Texas lottery games. Elsewhere on Nasdaq, Adaptec Inc. slipped 2 5/16 to 23 5/16 after a rating downgrade by SoundView Financial following the computer products maker's agreement late Thursday to acquire the U.S. subsidiary of South Korea's Hyundai Electronics Industries Co. for $775 million. -- Copyright 1998 by United Press International.

Consolidating for security C\|Net - February 20, 1998, 12:25 p.m. PT News analysis: Cisco Systems' (CSCO) acquisition this week of security firm WheelGroup signals the rapid convergence of the networking and network security industries, analysts and industry executives say. Analysts say Cisco's acquisition also puts pressure on networking rivals 3Com (COMS), Bay Networks (BAY) , Ascend (ASND), and Cabletron (CS). It also may force the hands of Internet Security Systems, a WheelGroup competitor that filed last month for an initial public offering, and Check Point (CHKPF), the leading firewall firm. news.com o~~~ O

US SEC May Seek More Year 2000 Info From Firms WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission may soon require more information from broker dealers and other firms to make sure they prepare their computers for the next century, a top official said. Under the proposals, most broker dealers and non-bank transfer agents would have to make additional reports to the agency during 1998 and 1999, according to SEC Commissioner Laura Unger. The plan, which will likely be released in the next few weeks, would require firms to provide two special progress reports to the SEC during 1998 and three during 1999. yahoo.com o~~~ O
