Mike I was glad to see that you still hate CCU enough to put it in this goofy market, so I couldn't resist when I saw I could get the same strike (Jan 45) at the same price (3 3/8). I hope the ride down is as short and sweet as the first trip, (though I'll take less <ggg>). I know you hate XLNX but are you sitting on just a third and not adding now ? Flat today. Thanks, John

Mike, you ever think of investing in Security Dynamics (SDTI)? They own RSA, which has a key patent in public-key cryptography (used by many, e.g. Netscape). SDTI is down from over 100 to the 10's now; went under 6 a couple of weeks ago until they announced earnings and a buyback 10 days early. P/E about 20. RSA at least is not hot air. (You would indirectly own a little netscape via them, however... -G). Disclaimer: I just bought a wee bit. I heard Keane mentioned NPR this morning: that is, they are now underwriting All things Considered. (It was them and the World Bank in the announcements I heard!) This is, unofficially and impressionistically, a sign of a company emerging as a CISCO-like must-own techie blue chip (fond memories of when SUNW (Sun Microsystems) did this.... actually, I'd already taken my 40% and was pissed to watch it double, triple...) a few years ago. Cheers, HB
