>>"volume preceeds price and price preceeds alibi". The great volume today helped push the price<< I don't disagree with this. But remember, two days ago, we had high volume and went up $1 1/2. The the next day we lost most of it (on moderate volume I think), and most of us were disheartened. One isolated day of heavy volume and uplift, doesn't prove anything decisively...but it's a good reason to start thinking. I was the first one to mention the options activity 3 days ago, and CRAWFORD immediately downplayed it. I didn't proclaim to know exactly what it was, but your right, it was saying something. Looks like it's turning out to be merger speculation fever. >>something IS up besides the price.<< Yes, I believe so. BUT why is up? Personally, I think it's just speculation of the network-telecom mergers. It's going up mostly on that. I hope I'm wrong. I'm hoping that somebody knows something about earnings and this upward price movement is a result of a good earnings report. Hard to tell right now why it's going up. >>will leave us above 27 1/2.<< If I can, I'll be looking carefully tomorrow to see if we break that 27 1/2 resistance level. Remeber how many times we bumped off of it? If big money institutions are going in (whether for specualtion or based on earnings report), then we'll probably go through it pretty easily. good luck tomorrow on your trade! joe

"3Com's TokenLink PCI Adapter emerges as server-friendly choice" 3Com Corp.'s TokenLink Velocity XL PCI adapter has the least impact on NT Server applications performance than adapters from four other leading token ring suppliers, while also delivering competitive throughput across a wide range of frame sizes. In tests commissioned by 3Com, The Tolly Group measured the effect various token ring adapters have on application throughput in an NT 4.0 environment. The Tolly Group benchmarked the performance of token ring PCI adapter pairs from 3Com, IBM Corp., Madge Networks and Olicom, Inc. The TokenLink Velocity XL PCI posted lower application run-times than all other adapters tested when handling a wide range of frame sizes. Application performance on an NT Server outfitted with the TokenLink PCI Adapter degraded by 7% to 14% across the range of test scenarios (see document 8272). tolly.com Mang
