Well, Jim did you read this from that post, remember this from an email to a pal of mine where we talk about the future of the high tech not SI posting, <<The point I am trying to get across is that fact that this pie in the ski stuff that is supposed to be driving PC sales in the future might take much longer then you think. >> That post was from 1997, far as I can see, I was close to being right on, 1999 is not over with yet gig computers will be all the rage come the end of the year, not shipping, but we will be talking about them. DVD has not driven the PC like CDROM did. DVD has been a disappointment to me for lack of software that utlizes DVD vast storage cabilites. Even half-live, the top PC game, is still CD-rom based. RCA is shipping web TV built right in standard on every TV, every TV even if you don't want it. While the PC and TV might not merge and become one, the PC will be relegated to home server status, I was talking to Hpeace (steve) about that then in 1997 and again this year to some one else, I still stand by that. In Dec. of last year I said DELL was dead money, here it is May and DELL is still dead money and broadband and wireless internet access was going to take center stage and it has, as proof click on this. techstocks.com re: Stocks such as Amazon, AOL, Excite should lull you to sleep at night and especially on the weekends. While DELL makes you quiver in your boots. That is one asinine statement, no wonder steve gave you so much crap. You have no idea who I'm or how I feel to make such a ridiculous statements! I do not own AMZN or Excite, I own, AOL, QCOM, ATHM, DELL, CSCO, LU, AWRE, (PCLN, NITE trading stocks), and SPYG. I very comfortable owning all my stocks even DELL as of now, and sleep like a baby. One thing that matters to me is efficient use of money, so I lighten up on my DELL holding, to invest where I thought the market was going to go. Many investors forget time when looking at their investments. As the above chart shows I have done well. I am up over 143% this year last year it was more then 200% thanks to DELL. I will lighten up more if DELL doesn't come through, I see no reason to make 10 to 20% on the bulk of my money that DELL represented, when there are better investments to be have. I still own many many shares of DELL. I went on record at the beginning of the year in posting back and forth with Chuzz that this year was going to be even better then last year, I have been correct so far. So why have money setting? You do it your way, I'll do it my way. What ever makes each of us happy is good by me. Greg
