Mile, It was simply a matter of liquidating a brokerage account. I had put it off for weeks because it was so heavily weighted in RMBS shares(in that particular account) and I felt that if the low 70's held I would go ahead with the transfer without selling. But with today's action I think there is just as likely as not that RMBS will continue to sell off as the FUD campaign heats up, so I determined that the least risky option was to sell and open the new account with cash. If I have miscalculated and RMBS reverses back up, those are the breaks, I'll buy back in higher, assuming there is no real change in the fundamentals going forward. The main thing that would keep me out would be another Camino delay. The other thing that factored in was my concern about INTC. As you know I sold my pc stocks in Feb. and wrote on this thread that I felt PIII sales might not be up to snuff, so if INTC reports a weak quarter, I think RMBS could be affected. Just more fuel for the FUD fire. bp

OTOTOTOTOTOTOT MileHigh, I just got a catalog from iGo (www.igocorp.com, formerly 1-800-Batteries) that I think you'll find pretty cool (I did!). Here's some samples of the products they sell (all the PDAs are the same size roughly as the PalmPilot): * The Philips Nino 325 PDA that runs Windows CE and has voice recognition built-in * A PDA that attaches to the battery slot on you Motorola StarTAC phone and allows you to dial the phone from the data in your PDA (this seems like a great idea to me!). You can talk with the PDA still attached, and you can obviously disconnect the PDA from the phone and use each separately. * The Royal daVinci PDA that comes with a little fold-up keyboard about the size of the HP 820 keyboard. * A GPS antenna attachment for the PalmPilot with mapping software that turns your PalmPilot into a GPS receiver/display (only $39!!) * The SpeechMike -- a mouse/trackball, microphone, and loudspeaker built into a device slightly larger than a normal mouse (works with Win 95 and NT). Shades of Scotty! And a lot more stuff... Dave
