ABENAMER, ARE YOU LOOKING AT ANY OTHER STOCKS RIGHT NOW TO MOVE THOSE FUNDS INTO? I LIKE INFOSEEK (SEEK) IF THEY PULL BACK TO $26 OR SO LAT IN THE DAY...NOT SURE, THOUGH, SINCE ALL THESES SEARCH ENGIN STOCKS HAVE ALREADY MADE SUCH A RUN. I WOULDNT MIND PLAYING IN THE RUN SOME, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO TIE MY FUNDS UP TO TIGHT TO BUT RNWK AT A GOO ENOUGH PRICE TO BE WORTH IT. HAVE YOU SEEN ANY NEW NEWS ABOUT RNWK EARNINGS? I KNOW THEY WILL HAVE A LOSS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF FIRST CALL'S EXTIMATES HAVE CHANGED. I CAN SEE THEIR PROJECTIONS FOR THIS WEEK...I'LL CHECK ON MY SCHWAB SITE FOR MORE INFO. ANY COMMENTS WOULD BE WELCOMED. RS

A new play. I believe like all others that RNWK is the key for streaming audio. I bought as soon as they went public and sold at $34. The reason I sold is that I looked at the graph one day and thought the paper was sideways, almost vertical:) I'll buy again. The new play is Macromedia MACR, these folks are to animation what RNWK is to sound. I first thought they delivered cartoons and such but this is NOT the case. I downloaded the software and this package is Good. They just announced a agreement with RNWK to develop a joint product and Microsoft is writing software to use it. The old animated banners and gifs are out. It looks to me like whoever sets the standard for streaming audio or in this case graphics has the eyes and ears of the net for a long time. Next time you see a commercial on television look at the amount of animated graphics it contains. MACR is labeled a software stock because of its past but they have announced their new focus is on the net. So when they become grouped with the net stocks look out it'll be a rocket.
