I must be a little thick, but I don't see any connection between IBM doing some more data processing on its computers and NN prospects. Am I missing everything? If one of us is thick, it's not you. I thought I read where IBM said their infrastructure needed upgrading and that's why they're selling it off. And of course I jumped from that to the fact AT&T is looking at them and from there to NN's T contract. As I said, back to the archives. . . Guess which member of the DJIA is going to have the biggest gain today adding more than 6% from my selling price yesterday? Ouch. Which one???? Time for lunch. . . Pat
