Tip, I know, I know. I hear "the economy's great" as eps sink into the sunset. I hear "pc sales are up big" as every distributor in the country gives warnings. I hear Brazil doesn't matter as our financial system prepares for "July collapse, Part Two." Sometimes you wonder what these folks are smoking. MB

Tippet: Boy, do I know the feeling with respect to the media spin. You'd enjoy listening in on some of the heat that shows up on my phone line,...."you idiot, listening to you has cost me (that "cost me"part I love the most) Zillions of dollars,....why didn't you have enough brains to recognize the importance of this great internet paradigm shift, etc, etc." Not much fun getting them to look at the actual numbers. (g) Sure glad I'm independent and don't have to answer to some arrogant and brainless corporate finance VP who would have no doubt fired my sorry backside out the door two years ago (g). Glad to hear of the small victory. Best, Earlie
