Maybe NAB can help. Here is what DIVI says at the NAB98 site nab.org Description: At NAB'98, DiviCom will introduce its next generation encoder, the Mediaview MV40, and DiviCast data broadcasting. The MV40 has a radical new dual pass encoding architecture based on the powerful single chip codec (DVx) from C-Cube Microsystems and features DiviTrack Lookahead statistical multiplexing for dramatic improvements in encoding efficiency. In order to meet expanding convergence requirements, the DiviCast headend system brings the power of high-speed data networking to MPEG-2-based networks. DiviCom solutions are compliant with DVB, ATSC, ATM, and MPEG-2 standards for open system compatibility in satellite, cable, terrestrial, and broadcast applications. Advanced architecture, system design, and extensive customer service have provided a successful platform for feployment of over 3,000 DiviCom encoders around the world DiVi, Hope you sell another 3000.

o: +lisa (6674 ) From: +Paul Viapiano Sunday, Mar 8 1998 6:24PM EST Reply # of 6675 Right on , Lisa! Jmac, you need to read "It's When You Sell That Counts" by Donald Cassidy re: refusing to sell because of tax consequences. He tells of someone he once knew who wouldn't sell and take a profit because he didn't want to pay the tax. The fellow also would not sell anything for a loss. Stocks exist to be bought AND sold unless you plan on holding till you die. Ah, the ultimate escape from the tax man! Paul From: +lisa Sunday, Mar 8 1998 5:59PM EST Reply # of 6675 The tech sector is going to be rough for a while. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxery of being able to sell out. I have thousands of shares of INTC and CPQ. Both, with great gains and can't afford to pay uncle sam if i sell right now. I dont know what your tax situation is..but when most people say this I laugh.... First you said that you were disappointed with INTC and it didnt give you an acceptable return for you and your family Now you say your gains are great and that you cant afford to sell.. let me ask you.....selling 5000 shares at 100 versus selling 5000 shares at 80...is 100,000....would that have paid the tax man???? and what if it dropped another 15...thats another 75,000 there comes a time where you pony up and pay the tax man.... maybe in your particular case you would rather risk the loss than pay the tax man....because of capital gains...etcetcetc..waiting for a lower tax bracket etcetcetc if nothing else...you could short against the box....
