Ann, OTOTOT, Re: "I was just reading about Amdahl's new LVS 4600 storage system. Man, maybe Sonny and I should have invested in your company instead of that other one. Pretty impressive cases of if you can't beat them join them, Supports NT, Solaris and most flavors of UNIX." Ann, thanks for your interest in our products. FYI, Amdahl was a publicly traded company (AMH) until last fall. Then, we got bought out by Fujitsu, which is something like an IBM, but in Japan. Their sales last year were about 37 Billion, and that's dollars, not Yen. So,you can't buy our stock anymore unless you buy Fujitsu. Yes, I was just telling somone last week I wished there still was an AMH, because of all the super new products we have out this quarter or are coming out soon. We are advertising our newest System 390 CMOS systems as the fastest available in the world. BTW, most of my development work is on S390, and it is our best and most important product. <gg> Anyway, our stock would have been good for at least a double, but, that's history. Enough about my place of work. One last thing, Sonny, if you're reading, the computer companies Paul E. was talking about are the two above. Our tax session was also not bad, and we got great information on IRA's, including the Roth. My wife and I are going to jump all over these, and start one for each of us at Schwab for 1997 and 1998 (can still do 1997). Our man also gave us names of good lawyers (there are some) to help us set up wills and maybe a trust. Tony
