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 :^)
