Geocities has made more changes to their Guest Book section. It will now hold a maximum of 45 entries. I will try to keep watch so I can keep it from overflowing.

VISIT COUNTER (This counter started on 6-6-97)
Geocities has made an unfortunate change to their counter. Up to now, the counter would increment only once per session. Now it increments every time you access this home page, whether merely refreshing or passing through the page to go to another. Sorry about the decision they made which will skew the information. But it will look like we are really popular!!

Stories, anecdotes, trivia - What stories do you have to add?

DPI History - Makes a good story in itself.

The Principals upon which DPI was founded - Are they still valid?

Current price of DPI Stock - with some calculation to create it. I am sure no one really cares, but the new formula after the July 9, 2001 spin off of AWE from AT&T makes the formula DPI = 1.3893xT + 6.004xLUx + 0.289xNCR + 0.5003xAV+ 2.235xAWE + 2.2472xCMCSA. With more spin offs and buyouts to come, I plan to lose track of it all. This gets it through the Comcast merger with AT&T Broadband and the 1 for 5 split of T. So if you figure it out you can give me the info to update this.
