NW: I think the inflation worries will begin in earnest when the international economies really start heating up, especially Asia and perhaps even Japan. But if Fed interest rate increases are gradual and planned, the stock market can continue to rise trading off increased exports against the higher cost of money. I think COMPAQ is about 50-50% as between North America and the rest of the world, so a revival of economic growth will help overseas sales. The new manufacturing facilites in Taiwan will fit in nicely. Looking at the Mirror Group 30th April launch. I wonder whether I was right to assume that AV was involved. It may be that COMPAQ is providing the servers. I will try to find out. The Mirror is only one tabloid in that News Corp group. It is a vast conglomerate of media outlets. It used to be owned by Robert Maxwell - the guy who bought The New York Post before he fell/jumped off his yacht in Spain and before he was discovered to have defrauded its pension fund . The Mirror is the only tabloid that has always supporterd the Labour Party in the UK. In the UK the tabvliod are always tryign to trump each other, stealing each other's promotional ideas. It looks like The Mirror had the idea first and the Sun tried to steal the show by announcing a couple of days earlier.
