<<I bought more RNWK after doing some research about the relationship between RNWK and MSFT. I have been burned in the past going against big MSFT and determined not to bet against them. Founder of company is a Microsoft millionaire. Microsoft has option of purchasing up to 20% of company and pays RNWK to license code for NetShow. After finding this out I was comfortable that microsoft would not decide to kill their market like netscape.>> JOHN LACOVACCI, I purchased RNWK & CYCH last month thinking that this was a second tier Internet stock, and I sold my positions Friday. It was a good run up this last month. The only reason that I got out was because I believe a correction is likely in the next 6 weeks or so. I'm not a doomsayer. I am an optimist . I just think the tech's (and now the Internet's)will take a rest this time of year like they always do. And these type companies are just air. Someday they will be something, but right now we are buying the future. 5 years from now, RNWK will be worth 10 times what it is now, and will have split 3 times. I think we know that. Lets face it, they are the leader in there thing. Joe
