OT - HTML Carolyn, in Netscape you can select "Document Source" from the "View" pulldown menu to see the background html for any web page you are looking at. It's an easy way to figure out how people are putting in italics and the like. P.S. I hear that Gates is going to hire 5,000 - 10,000 programmers over the next two years. With that army he could create a Tornado alternative before breakfast. Yikes! Guess I better sell some of my 40,000 shares of WIND... <wink, wink>

Carolyn, I guess we will just have a difference of opinion on this one. I think that the big investors who push the stock are looking at future earnings, not past earnings. I can give you a hundred examples of transactions similar to Wind where investors looked beyond one time earnings charges. I can also refer to a number of companies that are trading at astronomical PEs because earnings 2-3 years in the future are thought to be promising. The more certain future earnings are, the higher the trailing PE will look. Anyway, let's both hope that the stock gets past its current doldrums and tracks the growth the company is experiencing. P.S. It's nice to see the thread getting lively again! Regards, Jason
