Hi, very interesting news in the financial column of WIRED magazine (guy writes a column advising on stocks to buy and sell). He says 'short microsoft', because the recent price surge supposedly was based on anticipation of successfull August 24 shipping of Windows 95, and he claims that InfoWorld testing lab chief honcho says W95 will be 'full of problems'and 'disappointment' for many folks. Also, he recommends buying stock of company called @Home, making cable TV modems. Sounds neat, 10Mbps, just like ethernet. Apparently they have backing from some big cable companies---I guess someone should tell Bell Atlantic that this is their last chance to sign lots of people for ISDN, so they better get the price right :^) przemek -- przemek klosowski (przemek@nist.gov) Reactor Division (bldg. 235), E111 National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA (301) 975 6249
