Does anyone have any idea what a reasonable estimate is for 3Com's May quarterly earnings? Supposedly now that they've taken care of the inventory debacle, they'll see profits dropping to the bottom line rather than vanishing into accounting difficulties. OTOH, if they won't have profits then we can't see them on the bottom line. I'd be interested in estimates and thoughts on those. OTOT Craig- How do you see YHOO's position vs., say, AOL. AOL's got so many millions of paying subscribers, but not much in the way of programming or content that YHOO can't match today in html (I think the html part is a huge plus for YHOO). I wonder how YHOO will make the big bucks though, and when I start to see how (hopefully before they've experienced all their high growth years) they'll make this money, then I go long. Any help here? Randy
