BTW-the newsletter is on hiatus this week to allow for some paperwork and website stuff to be worked on. A brief recap of 7 highlights though.

QCOM-GSTRLF-LOR-IRIDF -- go back to my ranting and ravings over these guys being oversold and my harping on the herd mentality. All are up a good chunk of change. QCOM from 43 or 44 to over 51, GSTRF from 10 to 13+, IRIDF from 35 to 43, and LOR from low 12s to over 15. All prices are within 50 cents of reality.

BCST-AMZN ---the stocks you did not see in the newsletter not published Monday morning so you have only my word. Over the weekend, every other word relating to the release of the Clinton Video on Monday stated that AMZN was the only place johnny on the spot to sell the video and that BCST was going to provide the streamong video on line. Herd mentality once again. BCST was 35 and change and AMZN was 76 and change. MY MY how they flew. however, the other internet stocks flew up also so this was probably not such a great revelation.

ESFT - possibly hit rock bottom and some accumulation seems to be taking place. Very poor PR being done on these guys. Recently they hired away a Sales type from NSCP and had a nice press release yesterday. Please do not follow me into this stock but if you haven't already done so, do your homework and at least decide for yourself whether it is worth looking at further. I am heavily invested and will be extremely unbiased on this stock. Get your info and do your own DD and make an informed decision. I am just pointing out this stock and nothing more.

Da Cat in Da Hat,

Thought you would like to read the following entitled, "If Dr. Seuss Wrote Computer Manuals". I figured you were a _Fox In Socks_ fan, but that's only speculation 'cause...

====================================================================
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is
interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes
your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to
report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the
double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is
corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the
network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the
printer down the hall, and your screen is all distorted by the side
effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, and the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk, then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM. Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom.
