Air JJ...I totally remember him being in love with CPQ just 3 weeks ago, and having some weird article about CPQ and Mason right after some experience he had I guess in a conference...it was posted here on this thread, I read it several times and could not understand shit of it...this guy could prove to be the ultimate contrary indicator...only time will tell... Anyway...did you guys see this?? BEAVERTON, Ore., March 11 (Reuters) - Sequent Computer Systems Inc said on Wednesday that Digital Equipment Corp agreed to sell an upcoming line of powerful Sequent computers under the Digital Equipment brand name. It would be the first time that Sequent, based in Beaverton, Ore., agreed to sell its NUMA Center machines under a different company's brand. Financial terms of agreement were not disclosed. Sequent builds computers that tap the power of several microprocessors instead of one, as most computers do. Its computers handle huge volumes of business information, like credit-card purchases, brokerage transaction and telephone network tasks. The company plans to build a new generation of its multiprocessor NUMA machines using Intel Corp's upcoming Merced microprocessor. Merced, a powerful chip that will eventually replace the Pentium, is expected to be introduced in 1999 or 2000. Digital Equipment, which is in the process of being acquired by Compaq Computer Corp, will sell Sequent's Merced-based machines under its brand, the companies said. Sequent said the new machines will be able to run Unix and Windows NT software concurrently. Unix and Windows NT are the two most favored software standards among big companies for storing huge volumes of business information. In January, Digital Equipment and Sequent agreed to work together to develop a version of the Unix operating system to run on the Intel Merced.

Air JJ... Advice from analysts is to be taken with a grain of salt. They all have an agenda. Sometimes it might meet your agenda. They work for companies that have clients. Those clients pay money. Why would they give you information free, before they acted upon it for either their clients or themselves? If they didn't, where is the value added for the clients? I receive analysts' ratings from my broker, once a month. I am going to start trending some stocks and their recommendations. Nothing too involved ... just casually. If you have a broker, have you tried the same? Loki Cramer is okay. Also comic relief.
