Hi All, Just saw Bill Gates at comdex here in Chicago. He gave a fine presentation and demo of win 98. It will be as successful as Win 95, IMO. It allows you to have two monitors, so you can have one page on one monitor and a totally different one on the other monitor. Win 98 will config any new device automatically. Better error messages as well. Go MSFT. Jim

During a pre-earnings rumination today, I looked up the share prices for Comcast and Apple, both of which MSFT made large investments in this last year. Comcast is at $36 and Apple at $29, and both were obtained for about $20. It was about $1B MSFT invested in Comcast and $150M in AAPL, as I recall, so they're up $850M on those alone. MSFT is a very well managed corporation.
