We remain concerned that Dell may push industry pricing levels lower, responding to actions by competitors, lowering everyone's operating profitability,

You wouldn't believe the response there has been a lot of interest. The city has not aired enough of the issues for people to know what's going on. There are so many facets to gas drilling, especially as it moves into the neighborhoods.

A lady came by last night and gave me a check for 1,000.

People who are subject to tolling would rather pay a little more at the pump than go through the entire process that tolling encompasses.

It is very likely that all other important missions of the Coast Guard and FEMA will become secondary to the effort to combat terrorism,

I think they ought to rework Windows so that a device instantly turns on without requiring boot-up time and can run on batteries. To me, the operating system of the future is Windows.

There is little question that Sun is rapidly gaining market share, but there may also be evidence of a market turn-up for Internet servers at the same time as a turn down for legacy systems. Sun is the long-term winner in the UNIX category and we still do not see how any UNIX competitor can catch them. Sun is the best-positioned UNIX server vendor, with more than twice the UNIX server market share of any of its competitors.

that's all you'll see in the winter if this project is built.

hoping for a cold, cold winter.

They try to get a model cast in two weeks. We try to take it to finished machining in less than two weeks. So we've got about a month turnaround from start to finish on a prototype.

He was probably helped early on by being a small player in a rapidly growing market. He honed his skills and management team, and whatever flaws he had, which were few, were gone by the late '90s, and he chewed up everybody in sight.

We're looking at staying as long as it takes this time, ... We're going down there basically to make a wage with our equipment.

If you can't eat it, can't sleep under it, can't wear it or make something from it, it's not worth anything.

We're more than sure that when bad things happen, if we'll make the right choices, good things will come out of it,

When specifically asked what the Compaq customer would do if asked by HP to migrate from their current operating environment to HP-UX, the migration path planned by HP, the overwhelming response is dissatisfaction with the majority of users planning to evaluate alternative suppliers.

When a natural disaster--be it a hurricane, earthquake, tornado or flood--hits a particular region or state, the rest of us can often feel disconnected because it's happening to 'them' and not 'us,' ... Buying bonds that are specifically designated for these types of disasters can help bring together Americans and create a sense of patriotism.

In case there is any doubt, the good old days for Sun are gone - Sun no longer writes the rules and the competitive landscape has been leveled with IBM's Regatta about to set sail.

Environmentalists are a socialist group of individuals that are the tool of the Democrat Party. I'm proud to say that they are my enemy. They are not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans.

We wonder why we have got the Freemen or the militants. We wonder why we have got unrest in this country. It is because our government, in fact, has got out of hand and out of line, with the Endangered Species Act.

The environmentalists - the self-centered bunch, the waffle-stomping, Harvard-graduating, intellectual idiots that don't understand that they're leading this country into environmental disaster.

Does buying Earthlink pay for itself over the cost of purchasing hosting services from UUNet I don't think so.

Local control is the main issue here.

I don't see any justification for the federal government owning land, other than the Statue of Liberty and maybe a few parks, maybe a few refuges. But to just own land to do nothing with it I think is a disservice to the Constitution.

HP and Compaq management has a conservative projection of 2.5 billion in cost savings. But every merger has failed not because the cost savings were not achieved but because the revenues collapsed.

Management's conservative guidance might be more a function of lowering the bar to facilitate exceeding expectations rather than a change in the company's fundamental growth outlook.
