Good Evening Yaacov, You and I really do think alike, I was thinking the same thing about a one world. I hope I'm dead and buried before that happens. You know its so weird to me to imagine someone a short drive a way speaks a different language. With the exception of those people in Fargo. YA <GGGG> Now don't be so quite so fast to brush off what Sonny was saying about the net invading Europe. Now some of our farmers here are hooked up to satellites to get weather reports so they can better forecast when to plant and harvest. They also have gotten net access recently too. Hey these folks just got off the party lines for their telephones about 10 years ago. Party lines are where 5-10 families share a common phone system. If you needed to use the phone you had to listen to see if someone was on and of course everyone could here you if you were on. Technology works pretty fast. Once people realize its to their advantage they will want it. Hope your having a great evening!!! Take Care Ann

Yaacov. I did not cry this morning about CPQ. Wow, I did not realize that I sold that much. It was down over 2. I will be buying my CPQ back. When it moves or goes a bit lower again, I am in. It will not get away from me. Yaacov. I have not only been to Germany. First of all I was in the Navy for almost 20 years and when I have been in Germany I did take in some other countries including lovely Italy (nice place to visit), Spain and the Czech Republic. I did not mention places like Switzerland etc. Only your mentioned "basket cases". Yaacov, I don't think we will be able to agree with that net thing. gg. Why do you think that a farmer in Texas (my birth state btw) will not be able to communicate with a farmer in Italy and for that matter in China etc. down the road? You will be able to write on the net and have it translated automatically into the language of your choice. Put your thinking hat on for the future. gg. There will be no more slow people in the world. All you have to do is think a little, the cpt. will do the rest. Maybe one day we can dictate to the computer silently? As far as one country is concerned, I think you are right. Look at SI. We can't even get along there and we don't even have personal contact.And like I said, who knows if anyone is left one day the way things are going in the world. Everywhere you look you hear of biological or chemical warfare now. Hopefully we will make enough money now to take it to the next place with us. Maybe we could pool our money and buy a spaceship and travel to places no man has ever gone. gg. Now, all kidding aside, I think that Dell way will catch on in Europe. Maybe not as well in the South of Italy. I don't own too much Dell (unfortunately) but other cos. will benefit also, namely Intel. Sonny
