AirVenture Oshkosh Uses 3Com PalmPilot Organizers to Bring Airplane Judging Into the 21st Century - BW, 07:30 p.m Jul 30, 1998 Eastern SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 1998--The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is using 3Com(R) PalmPilot(TM) connected organizers to enable its aircraft judging staff to score and rank some of the 11,000 aircraft expected to participate in this week's AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in and convention. Volunteer members of the EAA have developed a custom software application for the Palm Computing(R) platform which enables show judges to rate aircraft while out in the field and then return to a central scoring station to download that data into a custom-designed database. guide-p.infoseek.com Translation: We don't have any HARD news for the "Ghost" thread, but we know you guys are looking for SOMETHING! o~~~ O

Ascend to buy Stratus San Jose Mercury - Posted at 10:21 p.m. PDT Thursday, July 30, 1998 ASCEND Communications Inc. (Nasdaq, ASND) plans to acquire Stratus Computer Inc. (NYSE, SRA) for about $800 million in stock next week, the latest deal in the quickly combining telecommunications and dataworking industries. The buyout would cap a dramatic turnaround for Alameda-based Ascend, whose previous acquisition, of Cascade Communications Corp., derailed the company's stock for a year. It also thrusts Ascend into the role of predator, despite the conventional wisdom that it is a takeover target of Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE, LU). sjmercury.com o~~~ O
