On selling short: short poem for Paula

[pms]

Maybe.  I know they had some real fancy tech and went from being the
darling of Wall Street to being referred to as "Generally Tragic".  But I
love there "virtual assistant" which they've been working on since '96.
Small distribution started late 98.  You talk to the computor.  The
computor does what you say, and asks you what else it can do for you.   You
can hear the un-new, improved version on their site.  I stumbled onto
it.(the site, not the stock) and immediately bought a small bit.  Now,
though I've read all the bad news, I've got a bunch. Crazy, huh. We'll see.

 The preferred's are converting like crazy.  And they're the most un-PR
stock I've ever seen.  One more conversion window left.

Sorry for the crass capitalist stuff.  Still, gotta get these strays fixed
and I'm counting on GM to do it.
