Hey kids! The word for today is: I-N-T-E-R-N-E-T!! Wow! Can you say, "In-ter-net"? Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet, Internet... Let's look at all of our friends on the Internet... SEVL is on the Internet. Watch SEVL go up. Go, SEVL, go. YHOO is on the Internet. YHOO rockets up. Rocket, YHOO, rocket. MSFT and NSCP are on the Internet. Baaaaad MSFT! Hey Steve Race, can YOU say, "In-ter-net"? It's easy to say. Just pucker up your lips and blow. Here, I'll even write the press release for you: ALAMEDA, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholders of MicroProse, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPRS), a worldwide Internet software company, will vote on May 11 on changing the company's name to Internet Software, Inc. The new company will focus on providing interactive content over the Internet. "What a difference a day and a half makes!" said Steve Race, President of Internet Software. "Yesterday we were just another cheesy game company with lousy management and no prospects for the future. NOW WE'RE AN INTERNET COMPANY! WOW!" MPRS shares immediately shot up on the news from 1 29/32 to 14 5/8. All known shareholders bailed out at 9 1/2, but many on the Silicon Investor web site swore that "We should see 30 by Thursday!" You lurking out there, Virginia? I'm after your job, you know...
