Trufflette: Oh, those nasty, dastardly bounders,....how could they do this to Michael's wonder stock. Just because Michael sells every single week now is no reason to be worried. Then, that equally nasty Forbes magazine, has the nerve to mention that Dell took in more money doing options than in selling computers. Well what's wrong with that? (g) As an aside, I also hear that the Forbes article mentioned MSFT's rather hefty use of options as a source by which additional cash was garnered. Can't help but grin a bit over that, particularly given the heat taken over the N.Y.Times article that had the details weeks ago. Some conversations with resellers of late indicate the worst sales environment they have ever seen. One comment started with "complete chaos" and went downhill from there. It's a mess. Anybody feel the chilly winds blowing across the PC/semi world? (Hickey's "Nuclear Winter"?) Spring may be a bit late in coming for some of these guys. Best, Earlie
