No I have 2 ISP's 3 cable modem hook ups (one just from last week) with Adelphia (ADLAC ;-), 3 computers and only 3 monitors. And a very short database of watch list stocks..for today. Example I didn't even look at the last 10 days of May watch lists which I worked hard to put in buy signals.. I closed the alerts this morning because they were distracting. Whenever I get 'intimate' with a company I do business with, I usually buy the stock. ADLAC has such a monopoly in this area and MSPG was my very first ISP after AOL (January 1998).. And since I grew up in a radically medical/financially weighted family I like medical stocks, and I'm doing a tad better with them lately.

Omnipoint Says It's Talking With Strategic Investor (Update2) (Adds background in 9th paragraph.)
New York, May 26 (Bloomberg) -- Omnipoint Corp., which provides wireless phone services in the Midwest and on the East Coast, is close to receiving an investment from a strategic partner to help pay off debt, acting Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Harry Plonskier said.

Omnipoint Chairman and Chief Executive Douglas Smith canceled an appearance at a Banc of America Securities conference in New York today because he's in the midst of negotiations, said Plonskier, who filled in for Smith.

Analysts and investors have long speculated a larger phone company with deep pockets could buy Omnipoint and other U.S. wireless companies that use the global system for mobile communications, or GSM, digital standard. The combination would create a nationwide network to compete with other coast-to-coast providers AT&T Corp., Sprint PCS and Nextel Communications Inc. ''I think we're going to see a near-nationwide GSM player,'' said Christopher Larsen, an analyst at Prudential Securities Inc., who rates Omnipoint ''strong buy.'' ''That's very likely.''>>>>
