Paul, Re: "Oh, I indeed have had much better 1.5 year spans. 1991-1992 and 1995 - 1996 were great ! But 1997 - 1998 has been quite all right." Consider yourself lucky. I don't know too many folks who invest in tech stocks that would consider 1997-1998 "quite all right" ;-) Re: "Re: " The cheap PC has effectively killed the Java based NC.. " Maybe. But Java hasn't turned out to be such a great language - Write once..Crash everywhere." So true. I have consistently played with Java (being a programmer and all), but I have never liked the language. It doesn't even do what it is proported to do with any kind of efficiency or grace. All in all I would have to say that Java was 99% imagination 1% perspiration ;-) Steve
