If my gut feeling is right tomorrow will
be a big day for MRVC because there inventory
is way up and I think there's a reason for
that and I think tomorrow when INTC reports
earnings we are going to find out they are
taking the inventory MRVC has built up.
Good luck

Hi, Gary

Now that you are over here as well as ASND (good choice), an occasional level 2 post would be appreciated.

I just got home and haven't listened to CC yet.

Somebody asked about interest. It looks like MRVC put $62.4M in
longer term investments, and kept $36M in short term investments
(enough to pay for the Xyplex acquisition).

"Other Income" was $2.328M vs $153K in 1996.
