One dimensional man My reference for "you might get your ass kicked" is to an old Italian story. It seems there once was a village in Southern Italy with a hard working farmer. Next door to this farmer lived a thief. Whenever the farmer went out to tend his chickens he found eggs missing. He suspected the thief. He began to lay a trap. At first he left a container of milk on the back stoop and that was taken. Then he left a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine and that was taken. Then he decided to count out his money in front of a window from which his neighbor the thief had a good view. He put the money in a pouch, put the pouch over the back of his horse and returning to his house loudly told his wife he was taking the horse and the money into town. While the farmer's wife questioned him about what he was going to town to buy with the that much money, the thief hurriedly approached the horse so as to be able to steal the pouch before the farmer came back out of his house. Being a thief he approached the horse from the rear so the horse couldn't see him coming and get frightened away. But when he got close to the horse and grabbed the pouch he heard the sound of the door of the farmer's house opening and turned to run fearing the farmer was about to come out of his house. At that moment the horse turned its head, saw the thief, and gave the thief such a kick in the ass that the thief was knocked unconscious. The moral of this story is that the farmer knew his horse and the thief didn't. ================= And you Mr. One Dimensional Man ought to go back to school and read some literature. I recommend you start with the Three Cornered Hat and look up the meaning in the dictionary of cuckold. Would you care to buy some NOVL August 15 Calls?

Paul and thread, Here's what some companies are doing about "the rapid increase in network capacity and personal computer processing power now taking place." Barry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- biz.yahoo.com Monday July 20, 2:41 pm Eastern Time Cisco, Microsoft expand multimedia alliance REDMOND, Wash., July 20 (Reuters) - Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO - news) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT - news) said on Monday they had agreed to extend their technology alliance to cover systems for delivering multimedia voice and video over computer networks. In a statement, Cisco and Microsoft said that over the next few months, they will announce additional details on how so-called ''streaming media'' technologies from the two companies will be made to interoperate on corporate computer networks. Current computer networks are designed primarily to deliver data, while phone networks are geared for voice communications. Streaming media networks would allow real-time video to be delivered over Internet-based computer networks. Cisco stock had gained $3.50 to $103.25 in mid-afternoon trading on Nasdaq, where it was the most active issue. Microsoft was up 56 cents at $118.50, also in active trade. The companies said they will build on existing Microsoft technologies such as Windows Media Player, Windows NT Server NetShow Services, and NetShow Theater Server, and Cisco's IP/TV (Internet Potocol/Television) and other Internet products. Cisco and Microsoft said they plan to deliver ''synergistic technologies'' that offer customers a set of tools and services for developing and installing ''streaming media'' networks. The expanded alliance is designed to take advantage of the rapid INCREASE IN NETWORK CAPACITY AND PERSONAL COMPUTER PROCESSING POWER now taking place. It builds on existing partnership among Cisco, Microsoft and Intel Corp. (INTC - news), who joined forces in March 1997 to promote the widespread adoption of multimedia network standards and technologies. The announcement coincided with the Networked Multimedia Connection Showcase in San Jose, Calif., an event sponsored by the three companies and aimed at accelerating the adoption of networked multimedia, including streaming video, in corporate and university markets.
