CompUSA Insiders Buying (From today's WSJ Online) It appears iMac sales helped CompUSA insiders, as well as market decline, decide brighter days ahead. ====================================== Inside Track Technology Insiders Take Up Bargain Hunting in Their Stocks By LAURA SAUNDERS EGODIGWE Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL 9/16/98 <Meanwhile at CompUSA, nine executives bought 286,600 shares from Aug. 21 to Aug. 28, at prices ranging from $14.13 to $17.75, for a total of $4.3 million, according to CDA/Investnet, a Rockville, Md., company that tracks insider transactions.> <"It's the first time we've seen this type of consensus buying [at CompUSA] since 1995," Mr. Ponticello said.

Oh... my... GOD!!! I just saw the first add for an iMac, 1/8th of a page in the computer section of the classified ads. <https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=5684355> Heck, don't blame me if your favourite company does not advertise around here. <https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=5687397> I must assume the ads were good then. Problem is I have no way of knowing... I watch plenty of TV and read more than my fair share of magazines and newspapers and have yet to see a single add for an iMac... <http://www.techstocks.com/~wsapi/investor/s-6136/reply-17668> Now this from today: I'm temporarily off cable but I still get the three main TV networks here with an aerial So...uh, Alomex... let me see if I've got this straight... the real reason you haven't seen anything is because you live in the middle of nowhere... and get 3 local channels off an antenna because some huskies chewed through your cable!?! I can't belive I wasted my time on you. Arrrgghhh!!! Ian Bruce New York, NY
