Yes I made some money at the open however I bought some back lower for a hold. I like the story and figured the price would drop due to the the fact that people bought in hopes of a CNBC piece. Anyway this may still be a play if some people didn't dump yet. Usually stocks pop within 2 weeks of comdex. here is a recent piece. Posted at 4:06 p.m. PST Friday, November 20, 1998 Hot trends at Comdex computer show BY MIKE LANGBERG Mercury News Computing Editor Sore feet, long lines for taxi cabs and a dazzling array of new technology ideas. Those are the memories most visitors take home from a visit to Comdex, the annual computer industry show in Las Vegas that ended its five-day run Friday. Every year, hundreds of journalists descend on Comdex looking for the ''big'' story. And every year they end up commiserating with each other about the lack of same -- perhaps because the industry has become so large that it's hard for any one company to make an announcement capable of rocking the high-tech world. That doesn't mean Comdex '98 lacked fizz. The 200,000-plus attendees saw interesting new ideas for remaking the shape of personal computers, connecting home PCs in networks and teaching PCs to understand speech. Here's a recap of some of the Comdex news. Keep in mind there are no guarantees regarding what you're about to read -- many new products grandly announced at Comdex never see the light of day, or arrive months later than planned. Thinking Outside of the Box Personal computers are about to burst the boundaries of the beige box. Several companies at Comdex showed new products or product prototypes that redefine how a PC looks and how it's used. Xybernaut Corp. of Fairfax, Va., had perhaps the most dramatic traffic-stopper on the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center: a ''wearable'' PC. The rig consisted of a 28-ounce processor attached to the belt and wired to a projection eyepiece creating a color image equivalent to a 15-inch desktop monitor. The MA IV, due to ship in December at prices ranging from $4,995 to $5,695, offers all the features of a real PC, including at the top price a 233 MHz Pentium processor with MMX, 128 megabytes of RAM, a 4.3 gigabyte hard drive and PC Card slots for adding accessories such as wireless modems. Users interact with the computer through a headset and voice-control software. For those who need physical contact, a miniature keyboard or touchscreen display can be strapped on the arm. Xybernaut is aiming the MA IV at mobile workers who need immediate access to sophisticated data, a group ranging from aircraft mechanics to surgeons. But, as with all computer technology, prices should come down over the next few years -- raising the perhaps alarming possibility that all of us will be wired all the time. C I A O
