Good Evening Sonny, For many weeks I was frustrated that my largest holding Dell and Msft were just sitting there looking stupid while the frenzy was going on with the internut stocks. I was in too much disbelief to realize that a dramatic phenomenon was unfolding before us. Well finally I think the view is a lot clearer. Things just seem to keep getting better for AOL and I guess there was a couple of reason why I decided to plunge into AOL aggressively on Monday. I spent the weekend feeling inside that waiting for a pull back and trying to time AOL is just foolish. We are on a few frontier and still on the ground floor of one of the greatest opportunities of our time and AOL is in my mind now the budding Microsoft of the Internet. I should have moved into this stock long ago when you and Sonki were talking about it but I was not convinced. When I took my first position after the stock split I bolted the next day after the split as the stock retreated. I was not used to being on Margin of any magnitude so this was a bid uncomfortable. I finally bought a couple hundred shares in the early 90's and when the stock crossed over 100 I knew I had to have it back. Over the weekend seeing the Movie,"YOU've Got Mail on top of so many great things I had been reading about AOL made me decide to go back into this company with aggression. As for Marcie's hesitation about going into AOL now I like to recall a phrase from the Army. " yours is not to reason why yours is just to do or die. With AOL yours is not to reason why, yours is just to buy, buy and buy. Have a good evening Frank

Sonny, Two great news pieces after the bell. first AOL and then 3com. Tuesday December 22, 7:40 pm Eastern Time 3Com quarterly profits top analyst expectations (Adds additional analyst, executive comments and details in 12th to 16th paragraphs.) By Duncan Martell PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec 22 (Reuters) - Quarterly profits posted by 3Com Corp., the No. 2 computer networking maker, sailed past Wall Street forecasts on the strength of brisk worldwide sales of new products, particularly in Western Europe. The company on Tuesday said profit before a charge for the second quarter ended Nov. 27 rose to $133.4 million, or 36 cents a share, from profits of $86.7 million, or 24 cents, in the year-ago period. Revenue surged 29 percent to $1.54 billion from $1.19 billion in the year-ago period. Buoyed by new products, the largest maker of computer modems and of the Palm handheld organizer also surged past the so-called whisper number -- circulated among traders -- of 33 cents to 34 cents a share. The consensus estimate in a First Call Corp. survey of analysts was for earnings of 31 cents a share. ''This was just a stellar quarter,'' said Michael Cristinziano, an analyst at Gerard Klauer Mattison in New York, who rates shares of 3Com as a ''buy.'' ''The stock should react positively.'' Hope that the techs rally tomorrow. Intel is really competing with AMD but the lower prices should be good for the PC makers Laster Frank
