Lynn, EMC investors, from the Dell thread, positive mention of storage and EMC. I asked the poster if he had the URL of the article from which he posted. Thanks to stockman scott.

Some Positive Comments From Our Friends at Merrill Lynch:

10:04am EST 22-Mar-99 Intra-day Special Notes -- Some Highlights:

Server Hardware / PCs

-Revenue growth has become a general concern given softer top lines at many leading
names.

-We have pointed out that computer shipment growth is slowing according to the commerce
department figures due to increasingly difficult comparisons. We are still bullish on
computer demand, especially servers and storage, as internet computing becomes a driving
force over the next few years.
We believe that PC industry revenue growth will only be
5-7% over time as declining ASPs offset double digit unit gains. Our 1999 PC unit growth
forecast remains 13-15%.

-We MAINTAIN our DELL estimates of $0.16 for the April quarter and $0.72 for the full
year. According to our survey, DELL is doing (gaining) significant corporate share and we
recommend accumulating the stock. We are less confident about Compaq and rate the shares
neutral.

-The report also contained positive comments on EMC, SUNW, and IBM.

Interesting.....this series of comments from Merrill Lynch doesn't seem to be getting a lot of
press today.

I'm just trying to put things in perspective.
