tip,

It's nice to know that the PC-business is down only because
the big players want to squeeze out the small fry.

PCs, desktops, servers - they are all getting cheaper. IBM, H-P and Compaq are squeezing out smaller companies and revenues will be down because margins are down. But once smaller companies are squeezed out, the big ones can start enjoying larger profit margins again

Wow, bad news is actually great news!
How stupid of me, thinking it was the small newcomers putting pressure on the established leaders! <g>

Tip:

I agree, but nobody ever said that things had to be fair. (g)
To be serious, like you, it really is an irritant that they can get away with the lies and the selling (of their own stock and options)into those lies. This time around, I may not be so nasty to the class action lawyers who frequently call. (g)

I wouldn't worry about the teens,....we're heading there nicely.

Best, Earlie
