Thanks for the MSFT insight Ike. They are so darn dominant and have such momentum that there are undoubtedly others who will pull back more in a correction. I have been burned by trying to short Mr. softie before. Where is the smart Ike money going these days?-Do you think we will pull back a bit this month? ECONOMIC numbers are strong this AM.

MSFT .... Yes ... and with the control of the PC makers through: 1. Screaming customer demand 2. Price controls 3. Outright strong-arm tactics MSFT will make their competition contemplate "Why am I still trying to compete against Goliath ... Who am I to think that I am God's David of the Business App's software world?" I run a NT network (Novell is better, but I can't afford to bet my future on what is sure to be the past). I have Win95 and Office 97 on my workstations (Lotus is better, and I use it, but customer service demands industry standard for communication of files) I am sick of MFST products, but who can afford to live without?
