Finding the next Microsoft has been the Holy Grail for many
investors. However, anyone who has dabbled in technology stocks can't help but be dismayed
at their extreme volatility--it's not unusual for tech stocks to gain or lose 10 to 20
percent in a single day. So how can you win in this market and find the next Cisco, Intel,
or Oracle? The key to winning, says bestselling author Geoffrey Moore, is to play the "gorilla game."
QuoteXpress is a personal investment monitoring
systemthat tracks the stocks in your portfolio and lets you knowwhen something important
happens. We know there's nothing like keeping your finger on the pulse of the stock
market. That's why we designed QuoteXpress. Imagine receiving real-time alerts, via your
pager or PCS phone, that notify you when the stocks you're tracking change by any amount
you set.
Find out why SmartMoney rated QuoteXpress the #1 alert service, which provides "the
only consistently reliable service. It always came in first, beating most rivals by
several minutes." Simply tell us which stocks you want to monitor, and the changes
you want to know about. We'll send you a real-time alert whenever any of these changes
occur.
You are alerted via your pager or PCS phone whenever your stocks exceed "alert"
criteria you've set. These "alert" criteria include:
Fixed increases or decreases in the price of a stock,
such as MSFT shares going up or down by more than
$3.00.
Relative high and low Market price thresholds of a
particular stock, such as MSFT exceeding a high of
$145.00, or going below $105.00.
Daily trading volumes for a particular stock, such as
a daily volume of more than 1,000,000 shares.
When one of the stocks you are monitoring exceeds one of your set thresholds, QuoteXpress
automatically sends you an alert.
Intra-day Updates:
For those of you who want to check various stocks at set times during the day, DataLink
offers Intra-day updates.
This feature offers stock updates at pre-determined times throughout the day, whenever you
want. Simply enter the desired stock symbol and select from the Current Price, Daily
Change or Volume. There are forty-six different time-windows to deliver information to
your pager or PCS Phone and the best part is you can select and set-up as many stocks or
indices as you like on Intra-day.
Quote on Demand:
By adding the Quote-On-Demand feature to QuoteXpress, DataLink has created the most
comprehensive wireless quote service available on the market. You can use this service
from any touch-tone phone, including cellular and PCS. For only 25 cents a minute, you can
call the toll-free
Quote-On-Demand access line to request a real-time
quote. You can receive quotes over the phone for any
stock on any North American exchange.
Give QuoteXpress a try and you'll see what it's like to know when to sell and when to
buy even before your broker.

The Age of Spiritual
Machines
Reviews
Amazon.com How much do we humans enjoy our current status as the most intelligent
beings on earth? Enough to try to stop our own inventions from surpassing us in smarts? If
so, we'd better pull the plug right now, because if Ray Kurzweil is right, we've only got
until about 2020 before computers outpace the human brain in computational power. Instead
of being a gee-whiz futurist manifesto, Spiritual Machines reads like a history of the
future, without too much science fiction dystopianism. Instead, Kurzweil shows us the
logical outgrowths of current trends, with all their attendant possibilities. This is the
book we'll turn to when our computers first say "hello." --Therese Littleton
The New York Times Book
Review, Collin McGinn His book ranges widely over such juicy topics as entropy, chaos,
the big bang, quantum theory, DNA computers... neural nets, genetic algorithms,
nanoengineering, the Turing test, brain scanning... chess-playing programs, the
Internet--the whole world of information technology past, present, and future. This is a
book for computer enthusiasts, science fiction writers in search of cutting-edge themes,
and anyone who wonders where human technology is going next.
