Hi Waldo There's an interesting piece at thestreet.com on fund managers who continue to hunt for bargains among internet stocks. What's your reaction to the following, considering today's press release? <<Fries Likes Business-to-Business Net Plays Another value manager who still looks for bargains among Internet stocks is Bill Fries of the $230 million Thornburg Value fund, which is trailing the S&P 500 by 7 percentage points this year, even though its returns have beaten the S&P over the past three years, 113.9% vs. 102.2%. Fries sees bargains in companies that will benefit from business-to-business e-commerce. Though the consumer segment gets more attention, business-to-business dealings will generate the lion's share of a projected $400 billion in e-commerce revenues by 2002, according to International Data Corporation. >> I wouldn't mind a nibble of that lion's share! Staying long :^) Merry Christmas, all! -Adamson

Waldo, I need your opinion. I just received my mail order catalog from J&R Computer World and called them to see what I could get for best pricing on Compaq Presario notebook computers. Here it is-Compaq Presario 1810($2899),1655($2199),1250($2099). I went to the BID.COM auction site and here is the following pricing based on minimum bid price-1810($1641),1655($1020),1250($515). All items from bid.com are brand new with factory warranty just like the ones offered by J&R except the ones from BID.COM come with Windows 95 and the ones from J&R come with Windows 98. Bottom line-Are these prices really that good from BID.COM with the Windows 95 or is Windows 98 that important???
