Michael, Thank you for bringing REGI to our attention. I saw your reference to REGI on the PTEC thread and began to research it yesterday. So far I like what I have read. As you know, I wrote an EFHutton report in 1974 predicting the eventuality of an E-Commerse Network, I look to E-Commerse to provide enormous growth for the Information Handling Industry . Unfortunately, Intel along with SAP and their joint venture in Pandesic, has not really gotten off to a strong start yet with E-Commerse.. However, it is still in the early stages of development, and I would hope that over time E-Commerse becomes a big revenue generator for Intel, other than just supplying PCs and Servers. In the meantime REGI could be a good way to play E-Commerse development. Do you own REGI? Regards, Jules

Thread, Intel made a smart move buying a ton of USWEB stock prior to the IPO. Their stock price has nearly tripled in less than 5 months. The other major leader in Web Development recently went public by merging with REGI, Neoglyphics. I don't think that Intel is actually buying these companies as stock investments, but rather as technology investments. Intel's rather modest (to them) cash provides much needed capital for these companies to develop new applications that will drive the need for faster processors. Intel would love to see higher bandwidth internet connections carrying more and more graphics information as this will cause the CPU instead of the internet connection to be the bottleneck, meaning more upgrades and more money for Intel (and in my pocket, too :). In USWeb's case it would be new internet connections in every place of business. Realistically, each connection would be via an Intel-based computer of some sort.
