It's probably a silly question, but are there any issues about how Checkpoint can handle security with Win 98 and Windows CE? I would guess 98 isn't such a big issue, but more and more hand held devices are going to be joining the network. I would also wonder if there is a security issue for Palm Pilots? Also, I tried to ask about hard coded security chips at the Ascend annual meeting. I either didn't get my point across, or they don't see this as an issue. Reason, it seemed the recent announcement from Berkeley that they would have a chip using Firewall-1 as means to speed the bottle neck of security checking. Ascend will use a RSA encript/decript chip. It is interesting to hear how little people are delving into the revenue issues of the last quarter. This was the big question, followed by the Microsoft issues which totally overshadowed the revenues. Can anyone bring any more information forward on whether there is a concern? I keep wondering if I should re-evaluate my idea of the bottom on this stock. I think we are in a very good buying range. Are there any TA opinions about what is the current support? Are we over sold? Rahul, I wouldn't apologize to either of these people. They have both come in and abused the forum. They offer very little and take up valuable energy. I wish they would learn how to use e-mail and send their comments without involving everyone else. They only show how stupid they are. Regards, Mark
