victor, Interesting investment by Intel in a non Microsoft OS hardware company. NW VA Research Inc., a developer of Intel-based PCs, servers and workstations running the increasingly popular Linux operating system, is expected to announce that it will receive an investment from chip giant INTEL CORP, according to industry sources. The investment, which will also include some venture capitalists, is Intel's second in a Linux-related startup company. The announcement will be made the day before Linux World -- the first big trade show devoted to Linux -- begins. Linux is an alternative version of the UNIX operating system which runs on Intel-based systems and on other computer architectures such as COMPAQ COMPUTER's Alpha chip. (Reuters)

victor, Most of these gentlemen are not selling the same number of shares you trade. Why don't you get a write up in the press? <g> NW William Strecker, an officer with COMPAQ COMPUTER may sell 120,000 common shares, a filing with the SEC showed. Strecker, Compaq's senior vice president for technology and corporate development, may sell the shares, valued at $5.1 mln through Solomon Smith Barney Inc., the form 144 filing released on Feb. 25 showed. A form 144 signals an intention to sell stock but does not obligate a sale. In a separate 144 filing released on Feb. 23, Enrico Pesatori, senior vice president of marketing said he intends to sell 20,000 common shares, valued at $952,500, through Lehman Brothers. Another officer, Han Gutsch, senior vice president of human resources said in his 144 filing, he intends to exercise options on 20,000 common shares through Smith Barney that has a total value of $872,500.
