>>nice to see the heavy volume today in coms, on a low volume market day.<< Yes! I also liked that we ended up positive (in the green) and the Naz and the Naz-100 were both negative (in the red). I also noticed that today the Naz dropped more than the Naz-100. The big cap Naz stocks may be taking the lead again. I notice when we start discussing options, this seems to grab people's attention. I wonder why?

Videoconferencing Kits Click With Home PC Users -- Many Are Adding Video to Online Chat Sessions, E-Mail Computer Retail Week - August 10, 1998, Issue: 214 When manufacturers introduced videoconferencing kits, they envisioned busy executives holding virtual conferences in their offices. But the products fizzled in the corporate world, falling short of professionals' expectations. Consumers, on the other hand, have begun to embrace the technology as a means to enhance recreational activities, such as adding video to their e-mail messages and online chat sessions. The kits can handle videoconferencing, capture still images, work in video chat rooms, or be used to make video e-mail. 3Com, Sony, Panasonic, Kodak, Toshiba, Creative Labs and Connectix sell videoconferencing kits priced from roughly $100 to $200 (ESP). About 1 million videoconferencing units are expected to ship in 1998, three times the 1997 shipments. By 2002, this figure will reach 12 million units, said Kristy Holch, an analyst with InfoTrends, Boston. However, most of the future models will be bundled with PCs, rather than sold as standalone videoconferencing kits, she added. techweb.com o~~~ O
