Eugene/all. * OT browser help * When I click on some posters name to send a private message, the browser tool bar containing FILE EDIT VIEW etc. disappears. So I can't paste any text into the private message. How can I get the bar back? I use Communicator V4.x GM Gene, please leave some space for MY boat at your dock. :)

I feel comfortable asking you to never post something this positive again until amat hits 15ish!!Then you can have at it. I have small pacific islands I NEED to buy. I could smell the fragrance of gardenias when I woke up this morning....don't ruin my dream. I'll even let you dock your damn ships on my island, and you can launch your next series of attacks from there. >> Amat has typically sold at 1.6x book and about 1x revenue at the bottom. 14.4 seems like a good number. I agree with you. AMAT revenue soon will be back to 1996 $800 million level, their stock should be back to that level too. Probably a little more, not like current price. It will go down to $20 level, possible hi teen level. This time situration is worse than 1996. if Asia can not recover in a year, China and HongKong can not sustain their current currency level, they have to de-value their currency, then worst will come. Another thing is that I see PC upgrading cycle is slowing. I upgraded my PC last year, I got 166MMX. That's fast enough to browse intenet and use microsoft office. I don't think I need another upgrade in 2-3 years(even if there were 500MHZ P2 system sell at $500). Most of people use PC to browse internet and use MS office at home like me.
