And so is just about everyone else's...tech stocks seem particularly hard hit. Microsoft has fallen 26.5% YTD, Apple is down 18.1%, HP 13.4% and Sun a whopping 42.5%, Intel is down 17.4%, AMD is down 41.9%, NVidia is down a jawdropping 66%...the list goes on and on. IBM is one of the few that has gone up; 18.9% gain YTD.

NOT a good time to be heavily invested in tech stocks - especially if you've bought just before this most recent nosedive. sad.gif

Not everyone hates Vista.

It's providing job security for IT troubleshooters. :bang:
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

That's been true about Windoze for more than twenty years.
