i decided to get my pc now because merced chip was so far off and felt like applications that took advantage of 64-bit os wouldn't be there for years after that.

Bearke - Re: " And MMX was the biggest thing of all time and sold one or two chips " Here's a clue - every x86 processor sold by AMD, Intel, NSM/Cyrix (Media GX may be an exception) and IDTi, in the past 18 months, has MMX inside. The number sold is probably close to 150,000,000 to date. Paul

Michael -- interesting week-old news tidbit re. AMZN: "Ingram, the book distributor that Barnes & Noble acquired last week, supplies Amazon.com, a competing online bookseller, with nearly 60 percent of its books, a regulatory filing disclosed today." news.com do you have picks re. inflated internet stocks, especially puttable ones, that are even more vulnerable than the high-flying leaders (AMZN, YHOO, etc.)? (i.e., cos. that are even _less_ deserving of the lofty valuations?) tom phillips

Mike, I just disposed of another third of JOF after noticing that it was at a 42.4% premium last Friday at 5 15/16. (I sold it today at 6 1/4... perhaps the premium has changed due to a big move in the Japanese OTC market since Friday, but I didn't have time to track down a graph of the JASDAQ, although I made some desultory effort to.) May substitute EWJ, although with currency instabilities I'm actually a bit happier with the OTC market than the overall japanese market. Do you still hold JOF? Barron's cover should mean Asian recovery on people's minds... maybe a contrarian sale. Almost out of chip-equip by now, but not entirely...still hanging onto some biotechs though. Take care, HB
