All, a little Sunday humor... From street.com 2. Ken Starr actually had a secret crush on Hillary Rodham Clinton during her days as the governor's wife in Arkansas. She rebuffed his repeated advances, citing her allegiance to Bill and distaste for older men. In true Shakespearean form, Starr was overheard vowing to "curse the wretched shrew and her love as well." (OK, we made that one up.) And the number one craziest thing about today. . . A suggestion from a hedge fund manager that stocks rallied today because Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan were buying futures and even individual stocks to aid the market. The source -- who went on the record with his comments, but we withhold his name to protect his reputation (or if he's right, from a visit by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) -- dubbed this effort the "Plunge Protection Team" rally. Furthermore, he suggested it was done in conjunction with the president's morning penance. And you thought journalists were cynical. this one is free thestreet.com GM

Re: PCs with docking bays This was the Device Bay initiative promoted by Compaq last year which appears to have gone the way of the dodo ... tragic. Although I was never sanguine about Device Bay's prospects for widespread adoption while PC makers were caught in the ASP squeeze of '97-'98, I really think it would have been a great step forward for the PC industry as a whole, and eliminated one of the most common snipes made against the PC by Mac-ers -- indeed turning the tables entirely.
