No, the time to buy is *after* the hideous 2nd quarter results come out on 7/28, operating losses plus restructuring costs are going to total at least 700 Million - don't buy before such an announcement. What is Compaq - a seller of crappy PC's with no support, or an Enterprise Vendor, better figure it out soon - time is wasting.

they are? There is a close connection between:
1. technology 2. birth-rate 3. wealth
so, increase technology and decrease birth-rate if you want to increase wealth - all other things like war, disease, and natural disasters being equal.
I believe everybody should have something to eat, a roof over ones head, and a lack of turmoil (wars, etc.) but this is a hope and a belief. it has to be created and renewed by consious directed action, give aways do not help, unless they are tools to help people achieve these things for themselves, on thier own terms, not defined as 'good' or 'proper' by some power. the most potent tool of all is education.
Apogee (looks to be out of business) Magnepan tweeter strips
Ribbons have the best high's electrostats have the best mids magnetic planars have the best low mids/upper bass
none of them really has great bass for whallop below about 60 Hz. The Martin-Logans are the best in terms of real world use, most of the models are integrated with really fine sub-woofers, and are o often used in high end home theatre set-ups

you are wrong. ML Aerius go for 2K, SL-3 for 3.4 K (mine), ReQuest + CLS are more. They do not need 'special amps' they need high current amps a 1.5 K amps would do very nicely. The wire mesh is the 'stator'.
what are you smoking? I like Linux just fine, but for full scale dev env it's not even in same ballpark as DUNIX, Solaris or HP, I'll let AIX out, since I have not used it in a long time, and wasn't impressed when I did. Please - buy a clue
Alpha is the fastest, and will remain so until at least midway thru 2003, in Q4 99' they will have a 1.2 Gz chip coming out. Gartner Group just put out a piece detailing all the UNIX/PC harware plans thru 2003, and Alpha is ahead at every checkpoint. If YOU want 64 bit that flies NOW, why fart around? Sure DUNIX makes em' more money, but it costs more too, if they can sell MORE chips because of Linux, believe me they will Compaq + Dec are HARDWARE outfits with services NOT software outfits. If I was running an IT shop or a medium+ internet shop I'd ONLY spend money on Alpha + Linux + Oracle, everything else be damned.
Hey, I hate M$ then most of you posters, but, at work they have standardized email and office apps on M$ Office, I'd rather run em on Linux then NT. At least that way I can use significant UNIX knowledge to do stuff on the command line, instead of trying to fool w/ an.exe file when I'm waiting for the 'save' to finish.., and my other windows won't be frozen either!

the original 'flat' speakers were developed in the
1920's !
The major types are:
electrostats: Quad (late 50's up)
Accustat (out of business) 70-80's
Martin-Logan (80's 90's)
Sound Labs (70's up)
planar magnetics:
Magnepan (70's up)
Apogee (bass panels)

same error for me, let us know when these guys
get around to debugging this thing
wrong! Linux runs on Compaq with several different
flavours besides Red Hat, get your facts straight!
Afraid of M$, probably, but m$ hasn't taken a huge
cut of the DB market, and they never will SQL Server sucks !
