Here is another example of momentum investing and lack of logic in the stock market. Onec keeps on hearing that COMS is not being bid up because investors need to see further proof of improvements. Now look at the Semi Equipment stocks. They are screaming as if they are getting tons of orders. The companies are saying that they dont see any orders till mid 99 at best. The SIA said that semi growth in 99 will be 9% which actually has been revised down from 17% forecast 5 months ago. So what the reality is who knows. Basically 3Com has this tag of a dog round its neck which it is desperately trying to shed. -hitesh

____3Com Links PalmPilot To Mobile Phones____ 3Com Corp. yesterday unveiled an update to its Palm computing platform that will provide infrared connections to mobile phones, giving PalmPilot users wireless data access capabilities. The company released the Enhanced IR update, downloadable software that lets PalmPilot users beam data from their machines to Ericsson's infrared-capable mobile phones. The Ericsson phones can then transmit information, such as E-mail, addresses, and application data, across a GSM cellular network. 3Com says the link to mobile phones will tap the potential of the PalmPilot, helping users send and receive data without requiring an external modem and telephone line. That should increase the desirability of the PalmPilot for uses such as sales-force automation. The Enhanced IR update software, which adds the IrComm infrared communications protocol to the Palm handheld device, is free. 3Com did not disclose whether it would support other brands of cellular telephones in future releases. --Jeff Sweat
