Can't really say, as I was in it lower, out of it now, not interested in chasing anything. Look how they shook the heck out of GNLB, on news, and all those 30&40k trades that went off at 1 3/4...someone had to buy<GBG> PANIC......

Banchee. . .careful on that "supposed to be on CNBC tonight" factor. As I understand it, they will be reporting from the LINUX convention, but there are dozens [hundreds?] of companies exhibiting there. The LAST time CNBC showed Linux, it was with APLX software, but they did not give APLX credit. The more I think about it, the more I lean toward the established names as the clear winners. APLX, as I stated early this morning, is best thought of as a takeover candidate on the near-term. IBM, Oracle and Sun will all have their software out at some point soon. . .the bet is that one of them will consider buying APLX for it's Applixware Office Suite for Linux, which WAS the only available Office Suite for Linux that charged money. However, now Corel has their Word Perfect ready for Linux and I would imagine they are taking orders for their office suite as well. How far behind could Lotus be? And others? Would not surprise me to see a Microsoft Office version for Linux. . which is weird when you think about it. But as for the appearance . . .as a factor for purchase, I would get the full story before acting on that. Rande Is
