Informix (IFMX), up 134% this year so far, is the vehicle by which Rusty retires early and surveys Stephen Wright's seashell collection which, as you know, he keeps scattered on topless beaches all over the world. CEO Robert Finocchio (Super Genius) left 3COM just to make Rusty money. Cutting edge database technology. Just the type of company for your newsletter. Growth of the internet means a rising demand for storage of multimedia not to mention on-line transaction processing (OLTP). The future of database technology. Definitely a George Gilder type stock. (Just a cheap plug.) Best wishes George. The corporate site informix.com says, "Informix Software, Inc., based in Menlo Park, Calif., is the industry acknowledged database technology leader.

George, I want to start a computer empire . . . say, a company marketing an $800 laptop with System Commander as a boot manager running Red Hat Linux and DOS on an IDTI chip with Applix Office Suite, Netscape/Communicator 4.04 and JAVA everything. Can you spare $10,000,000 to $12,000,000? Why hasn't someone freed us from the MS shackles? Windows isn't going to take us where we want to go is it? Where is the PC headed? How 'bout Gilder/Johnson Computing?
