POST 25000 !!!!!!!!!1, hope this works, sorry but bout half imPAIRed... if we can get pair to 25 we will all be better off. EPS on 7-13, consensus is 17 cents, i feel we will get that but not more, maybe even a penny less (based on my view of chuckies attitude on CNBC "...have enough trouble running my company, much less worrying about acquisitions...." which makes me feel the only reason he is happy cuz stock up 3-5 points prior to hsareholder mtg and he wouldn't mind seeing a buyout------> he has to be thinking about retiring at his age (55+ i think) and would probably jump on an offer. BTW, chicago did anyone ask charlie about a reasonable takeover price if it happened ????? thanks to all and to all a good nite.... go PAIR hk lets go pair folks

>>Who will win: >>1. AT&T with TCI and AtHome cable internet connectivity or >>2. The Babys with DSL, et al. (PAIR) Funny cause the city that I live in is in the heart of Silicon Valley and guess what ? The cable infrastructure is weak here, only 1 line as other cities have the 2 line cable. They announce that they are going to upgrade the city (TCI bought the local company), but that will take a few years minimum if you AXE me, even though they said by the end of the year it will be ready, yeah !! RIGHT!! You will be surprised at how many cities don't have the capability to go "cable internet", DSL would fit nicely. The problem with ADSL is the technology can let you download at ~9 megabits, but "they" will probably charge different rates for different downloading speeds.. Bahh.. Cable is fast ~1-3 megabits, but if alot of people are connected to that neighborhood node and the internet traffic is high, it will degrade the performance, like a traffic jam during rush hour vs. having your own dedicated phone line. If your are a long term investor, you have a tuff decision on your hands, if you love trading the stocks, dips and peaks, I wouldn't worry about it. How many times have we seen a stock soar on the potential and hype, then during the aftermath, the stock is back down, i.e., IOMEGA, and these internet stocks are an example. Buy on the rumor, sell on reality <g> Netscape did a great job this week at stroking wall street. Since mergers/partnerships/whatever is the BUZZWORD in the internet stock community, Netscape put out a press release to JACK themselves up!!! $40 bones!! Netscape Communications Corp. stock soared Wednesday amid expectations it would be the next Internet business to enter a lucrative partnership with a major media company. But some people familiar with the online business said investors may have misinterpreted the remarks by the Netscape official that triggered the buying furor. ..snip ** What Netscape was really referring to, Gami said, was its interest in teaming up in limited ways with other media companies to provide content to its Web site. He said this type of alliance has been part of Netscape's strategy "from day one." ****** ..snip
