Oh Oh. Mike does not like this one. I am here strictly short term Mike. My play is simple. Hum is diversifying and in the meantime have steady revenue and good earnings. They are sitting on a lot of cash and are in a position to acquire and lastly but important to me is the large short position. Based on average trading volume, it will take couple of months to cover the short position. How I'd love to see that. But failing all of that, I will be out once I do my taxes.

Hummingbird agrees with you. In fact, they benefit from the desire of people to transition Unix apps to Windows, but as fewer X apps are developed, they will eventually reach saturation. The question is whether the other apps will take up the slack.

Dear Michael: An interesting post. This is likely one of those questions that just reveal how little I know, but: does it look as though Intel's Merced chip (due out late 99) will inject new life into UNIX applications? Just wondering, since many UNIX apps of various flavours (e,g.Sun) have been climbing aboard for that architecture--and with this big jump in computing power, it would seem to open up whole new areas of application. Thanks for any insight you can shed on this. -Andy Patton
