a partner in Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, says "we would rather work with Microsoft on specific ventures than have them in the fund." Good! I'd keep my distant from Billy, they don't need to make their lives more complicated. I don't know what happen to Tom.

I have not gotten around to selling any AMZN yet. My stock is still not worth $1M yet. I will be very tempted to take profits around the time of the Q4 '98 earnings report. AMZN is no where near my 1998 year-end target. I looked back on 4.15.98 when the stock was at a pre-split price of $90 per share. On that day I posted a year-end pre-split target of $160, in response to somebody else's target of $8. (Postings 3044, 3047 and 3048). Naturally, everybody thought I was nuts. I think most people still think the same. And here we are at $446 per share (without the split). First rule of investing.....It is better to be lucky than good. Second rule, it is very important to know when your apparent success is due to dumb luck, so you don't take yourself too seriously. Tom D
