mike-- well, you didnt hear dow 15k from me<G>. good to hear you think the technology will change society. i also think it will be great, but i dont think (at least not anymore) that this company will be the one to deliver the technology. its just that simple...WSTL doesnt have what it takes, and we have been deluding ourselves the whole time. i blame managment for not doing a good job. i blame myself for holding the stock. there is a difference. good luck to all, trey

michael i couldn't agree with you more and was at the meeting with you i believe we did meet that day and i am very sorry that wstl is going this route at this time they appear to be a very real contender in adsl but at times like this i can't help but worry this is a repeat of amati money vs time will they make it? i guess we will all see good luck marc

Mike, I too think WSTL managment has been pretty well behaved of late. While browsing the following link: uawg.org I noticed they've been on the road selling their cause. I don't know if they've done any good but it appears to be the proper approach. We'll see.

ADSL stocks have always gotten killed in major bear downturns in the techs. The thing to watch for is when it turns and then they rocket back up like in '97. I wouldn't be surprised to see WSTL return to 8 or 9 as ADSL heats up and the tech bear ends. The question for me is; if CSCO and LU keep falling along with many other good ones like NT; maybe those are the best plays for the long term. You might see double or triple you money faster in WSTL at 3, but it will lag the top tier companys as the index funds will move in again first.

Just a reality check ... as I remember, OS/2 was a quality product also ... so quality in a product does no good if marketing and management have no quality ...
