EL..Tomorrow is the anniversary of the 52 week high and we are off a good 20% from that level. In honor of the event, and as tribute to EP's commitment to increasing stockholder value I plan to spend the generous dividend from CPQ this Q taking the family to Blockbuster for a movie, 2 drinks, and popcorn at home. Thanks loads EP, I'm glad the millions you extract from our company won't deprive your family either. STeve

El, You beat me to it. MSN's $60 million search engines Compaq Computer's (CPQ) AltaVista, CNET's (CNWK) Snap!, Infoseek (SEEK) and Lycos Inc. (LCOS) have agreed to be featured search engines on the Microsoft Network for one year, in a deal Microsoft (MSFT) says is "worth in excess of $60 million." The agreements call for each of the four companies to provide their services on MSN by purchasing highlighted placement on the site in exchange for a guaranteed number of impressions over one year, the company said. A Microsoft spokeswoman added the four will be added to MSN at the end of the month, along with its own MSN Web Search. Each search service including MSN's, will share a percentage of customer searches on MSN. Danny Sullivan, editor of Search Engine Watch, pointed out "All (the) people who seem to be jumping at this are trying to become up-and-coming players," Wired reported.
