Sonny, All Anyone seen this yet??? Interesting to say the least, Microsoft pushing Intel around. Hmmm.... Hope all is well with everyone. I've been super busy lately. Sonny I thought about you the night Clinton came out and did his little performance. He is a great actor isn't he. I was watching CSPAN and wondered which line I should call in on, Conservative, Moderate or Liberal. Can I be a conservative moderate liberal???? They didn't have a number for that. :-( <GGGG> Have a great day!! Take Care Ann cnnfn.com NEW YORK (CNNfn) - In the latest chapter of the ongoing saga of antitrust allegations surrounding Microsoft, federal and state regulators are reportedly investigating the software giant to determine whether it intimidated Intel into keeping its technology "Microsoft friendly." According to the New York Times, the U.S. Justice Department is looking back over notes from an August 1995 meeting between Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Intel Chairman Andrew Grove to determine whether Microsoft abused its marketplace dominance. Intel's microprocessors are widely used in manufacturing of personal computers. Its market share for microprocessors, in fact, parallels that of Microsoft's Windows operating system - so much so that the two companies are often referred to as "Wintel." Notes of the meeting three years ago suggest Gates made "vague threats" about backing other Intel competitors if Intel brought new technology to the market that conflicted with Microsoft's, the Times reported, citing one of internal Intel memos that was handed over to investigators. The report also stated that federal and state investigators have taken depositions from Grove and three other Intel employees and said they are pursuing other evidence that might be rolled into the antitrust case against Microsoft by the Justice Department and 20 states. The depositions could bolster the government's ongoing antitrust case against Microsoft if evidence suggests a pattern of monopoly power abuse that squelches the innovation of competitive technology . The department's existing suit accuses the company of using its monopoly in computer operating systems to gain monopolies in other areas, including the Internet. The states' suit has since been combined with the federal government's case. Microsoft, of Redmond, Wash., contends that attempts to hamper its activities would hurt consumers and said that antitrust allegations are simply attempts by competitors to win gains in court that they cannot achieve in the marketplace. The case is set for trial Sept. 23. Microsoft shares (MSFT) closed up 2-7/16 Tuesday at 112-13/16 on the Nasdaq. Intel shares (INTC) closed down 7/32 at 84- 13/32.

He will never tell me what the weather is like so he's just no help at All. <GGG> But I am quite sure he could sit on an ice cream cone and tell us what flavor it is (he IS a very talented guy ya know).

Good evening Sonny, I am sorry to hear about your dental appointment. Was it just for a cleaning or something more serious? Thanks for the links on the hurricanes. It looks like our next watch will be Danielle. I heard that this is suppose to be the worst hurricane season ever, something about a twenty year cycle. About my husband telling me not to evacuate, I think that he just did not think it would be that bad or something. The worst part was that I did not know how to get a hold of him. But thank goodness, the hurricane turned and did not hit and also later that same day they let him come home. I was never so glad to see any one in my whole life. The threat of a possible hurricane is bad enough, but facing it by yourself is really bad. But at the time, I didn't sit around feeling sorry for myself or going into panic, but just started doing everything I could to prepare for the hurricane. I really read those papers we had on hurricane preparedness very carefully. I guess that basic survival instinct kicked in. The market is really doing badly. Intel has really pulled back from a few weeks ago hasn't it. I am not sure yet how selling these steel engravings is going to be, but so far, except for the packing supplies, it is 100% profit, since my sister gave me all of the engravings to sell. I still have quite a few that she gave me. I have two sisters and they are both very generous. I am just giving it a try so far. It was great seeing Gretchen today and we had lots of fun, but boy am I tired. Two year olds have so much more energy than me. Have a good evening. I hope that you don't have any repercussions from Bonnie. Margaret
