Gottfried, Yogi, as a boy I read stories by Asimov and Heinlein about robots of the future. These robots had "brains" that I used to think were improved versions of today's PC. But maybe these writers had it wrong. The real robots will be the Frigidaire internet refrigerator and the Sony cable box. <G> Separately, GM, many thanks for the SOX index chart. There might be a simple seasonal pattern shown by the chart, but I wouldn't want to bet on it, as least not at first glance. geocities.com:80/WallStreet/5464/sox95_99.gif

Gottfried, Yogi, from now on, when you post something important, please explain the meaning in simple words so that even idiots like me can understand the significance. I thought the Internet refrigerator was a joke. Not that it wasn't real, but that it showed how wildly people/businesses were reaching for an Internet/hot sector connection. But maybe some of this stuff is real, and I'm just too blind to see it. See the post below. Amazon is up $8 this morning, and the poster (no joke, and the poster is no idiot like me) thinks it's due to your Internet refrigerator article. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Message 8224208 Talk : Web/Info : AMAZON.COM (AMZN) To: H James Morris (44736 ) From: Eugene Kearney Tuesday, Mar 9 1999 11:15AM ET Reply # of 44787 "I'm slow this morning. The "Thing" up 8. What's up." It was just discovered that something called the internet would someday be intertwined in all of our lives. I think the internet refrigerator did the trick. Using a bar code scanner to send info to AMZN, so housewives don't have to punch in a bunch of numbers seemed to put it over the top. At least I think that's what happened. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
