Great. In the last few weeks, Microsoft stock has taken a dive from about
$79 to $51. That's about a 35% dip. Gee, I guess that means that if Atari
stock only dropped 20% and is on the verge of folding (as some insightful
industry insiders would have us believe) then I should REALLY be worried and
start sending out resumes again. Poor Bill Gates. He's stuck with about
a hundred million shares of the stuff.

Can you Wall Street wizards take your discussion offline and leave this topic
for discussing matters that most ST users might actually give a damn about?
I'm sure you can set up a topic called alt.stock.market.bs or something.
