I strongly support your approach.
I want MailBox count to show messages that I haven't dealt with. Otherwise, I have to remember how many messages are in my kept mailbox in order to know whether anybody's written to me. Ugh.
So I agree with you. Totally.

If you're not watching CSCO and the
NDX then what are you watching?
Personally, I'm watching the stocks I own and the stocks on my watch list. I could care less what the market does. I buy stocks, not the market.
And I don't watch the prices on my own stocks every day. Once a week is a lot; once a month is fine. Of course I keep an eye out for news on them, but if I've done a good job of picking the stocks, there won't be any significant surprises.
No matter what the market does, some stocks will go up and some will god own. Even on the market's worst days, some stocks go up; even on its best days, some stocks will go down.
So to me, as a long term investor in a limited number of stocks, the market as a whole is largely irrelevant.

And don't forget that you had to tell the computer every time you put in a different disk. None of this just slipping a disk into the drive and expecting the computer to locate and read it. Nope. I forget the exact command now, but if you put a new disk in and forgot to tell the computer you had changed disks, all heck broke loose.

so tell me, do you go back far enough to have used 8" floppies? I don't have any 8" drives around, though, I will admit, and if I have any 8" disks they're buried deep, because I haven't seen them for years.

Anyone have a 5 1/4 around?
What do you mean, a?
You mean drives? I still have two working computers with 5-1/4 drives in them. Or do you mean the actual disks? I probably have several hundred hanging around from projects years ago. Last time I had to access one was about two years ago when a client wanted a copy of a report we had done in 1986. Fortunately I still had all the data and the report on 5-1/4 DSDD floppies. Copied it all for him onto a 3-1/2. Thank goodness we had thought to save the text in .txt format; I don't have WordStar loaded on anything anymore, and I don't know whether Word or WordPerfect would know what to do with a Wordstar file format. I did have a copy of Reflex still loaded on my oldest computer, so I was able to convert the data to comma deliniated files for him. Charged him $150 an hour to do the conversions and he was happy as a clam, because he had lost his only remaining hard copy of the report and needed it badly. Probably could have charged him a lot more, but he had paid for the job originally, so fair's fair.

I go back to 1973. I was hired to teach math and English and be the business manager at a private school in Poughkeepsie, NY. When I got there a few days before school started, I was told I was also going to teach computer programming. There was an IBM fellow who was researching the use of computer terminals in schools, and he had selected us to be one of his target schools since we were only a local phone call away from the IBM facility. So we had set up a small room in the top of our ancient admin building with a phone, a teletype type compter terminal (used 11x17 continious form feed green bar paper, if any of you remember THAT stuff!), an analog 300 baud modem which hooked us up to the mainframe, can't recall now whether a 360 or 370, and enough room for me and about four students, which was my first class. So they and I together learned APL from a book. It was a blast.
Did that for five years, then next school I went to five years later we had about six TRS-80s with casssette tape storage.
Next involvement was in 1980 when I got involved in a start-up company which built multi-tasking computers using the Z-80 chip and hand-wired boards. They were mounted in full-size desks we built in our tiny little office. I was the financial manager, the sales manager, the support rep, and lots of other things, except that I never got involved at all in the design, wire-wrapping, etc. I was management. <g> I moved on after a few years but hung on to my stock options. The company survived and morphed and eventually got bought out by Adaptec. End of my computer career, except as an enduser. But it was a fun ride.

Ah, yes, the acoustic coupler.
I admit I never had to use a 110 baud modem. My first was a 300 acoustic coupler.
but since all we were sending was straight text, it worked okay.
Can you imagine sending a .gif file at 300 baud? Whew!

I certainly don't consider myself a geek, but I did learn to use Procomm, Desqview, and other tools that required more than jus tpointing a clicking for sure. And getting into some of the BBSs required a bit of tweaking, also. So maybe by today's standards I am a semi-geek. <g>

how is the market treating some of you guys?
I've been doing fine. For example, those who joined me in picking up SGR when I recommended it here,
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=282478
(it closed at 20.75 that day) have a better than 50% gain in three months in an otherwise pretty bleak market.
Not tooting my own horn, you understand. <g> Just noting that with careful analysis it's possible to make money in real, solid companies (not pennies) even when the overall market is weak. And I think SGR has run most of its best gain, so wouldn't necessarily recommend it for purchase at this price.
Buy stocks, not the market.

Thank you, Matt and Bob, for jumping in and stomping on that so quickly and decisively.
I note that JM said he would start serious posting in fewer days than you can count on two hands and one foot. If he's human, which is at the moment up for grabs, that's a max of 15 days.
Mark your calendars, and if Matt hasn't booted him for other reasons by May 20, if we don't have a bunch of serious, insightful stock posts from him by then, you know what to do. <g>
I'm glad I didn't make a date commmitment yet myself -- I know builders too well by now to do that. After all, we were originally supposed to be in by Christmas, and we're still waiting.

about time to short KKD to death?
As long as Matt doesn't go on a diet, KKD profits are safe.

Has it occurred to you that some people may post anonymously because they don't want their home information disclosed? And that most responsible sites, including IH, prohibit the disclosure of personal information by anyone other than the poster?
This is a project you should abandon.
