Joe,
I remember the Cray supercomputers. When I was at Purdue in the mid 80's, we had a Cyber 205. The mainline computers though were Vax 11/780's. Boy those were truly the remarkable, good old days.
Speaking of following Cray... I interviewed with Dell Computer in Austin out of my undergrad. I thought they appeared to be too "fly by night" at the time. Talk about a bad decision on my part. Recall the run that stock had through the 90's!!!! Should have, would have, could have, right :) ?

It might be doable, but you'd probably need a background in logistics to make that work smoothly.Rich wrote:What you say, Tex??? :)

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Joe - that's great that you got to travel and see so much of the world!!! I've also traveled quite a bit, and definitely gotten the travel bug out of my system. Now I enjoy feeling settled in a wonderful place - the weather here is unbelievable - dry and arid, and over 300 sunny days a year!!!
Rich - you just reminded me of one of my biggest investment mistakes - selling Dell way too early :(. I bought the shares just before they took off like a rocket ship, and sold after I had made 50% on my money - stupid, stupid, stupid!!!
Love,
Kari

Kari,
I also owned Dell out of the shoot. I recall doing the math in the mid 90's and had I held, that investment would have been worth $4.8M!! Hindsight is 20/20. Don't look back.
I am not going to make the same mistake with my long term Apple holdings.

For every story like that, there are probably 100 stories of people who were greedy, held on too long waiting for the peak of the price, and lost much of their investment. 50% profit is darn good, but our brains are wired to be more upset about what we lose than be happy about what we gain............
My DH used to work for Kodak and had a bunch of stock options at a price of 30. When it reached 70 (many years ago) we considered exercising the options, but our investment advisor was sure that the stock would reach 100. It never did, and tanked suddenly, so we lost all that potential gain. Right now it's trading at 4.7, and Kodak is a shell of it's former self........
