Claude, Here are a few highlights from the past 90 Days. I think that you can see the train of thought that has developed for me and driven a few of my posts. The Northern Telecom announcement just served to solidified everything. The QWST Network will be fully up and running in June/July of 99, a full 12-18 months ahead of schedule. We can literally see the oft spoken of “CONVERGENCE” taking place in front of our eyes. 1.

LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and Intel (Nasdaq:INTC - news) are expected to announce a joint attack on the fast-growing telecommunications equipment business on Monday, the Financial Times reported. The newspaper said in its Monday edition that the two companies will unveil an alliance with hardware producers Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP - news) and Northern Telecom Ltd. (Toronto:NTL.TO - news), also known as Nortel Networks. If successful, the alliance could open up a huge market for Microsoft's Windows NT operating system and Intel's Pentium microprocessor, the report said. The venture is seen as possibly advancing the introduction of corporate networks combining voice, data and video signals on the same infrastructure, the report said. Message 8316310 Regards, Brian
