It's been a sector with mixed results. If you have a tech fund manager who is a good stock picker, and who has proven to be good at picking out values when they're there, and also being able to see growth as it starts to happen, investors could be well off.

Karen Dolan

I am disappointed that the Senate would increase the number of foreign high-tech workers without including any safeguards for American workers.

Lamar Smith

I was probably more excited for this game even than the Texas Tech game because of the crowd, energy and excitement.

Scott Drew

So far we have fellows from 14 schools [from Tech] here. We really do make it a Tech-wide program.The MacArthur Foundation is very prestigious and we're in good company.

Seymour Goodman

HP is finally showing leadership in the home consumer tech sector, ... By standing up and rallying consumers, HP has a very good chance of success.

Peter Kastner

I'm not a candidate. That's message-board stuff. They've got me going everywhere this year. I'm a Georgia Tech guy.

Charlton Young

It is a combination of the price of electricity and the forward-thinking mentality where people are looking for high-tech solutions to environmental problems.

Barry Cinnamon

We were told that all this new high technology, all these new high-tech jobs that we were going to be creating here in the United States of America would stay here, so our people would benefit with the jobs and health care and everything else.

Tim Ryan

If it was Virginia Tech, man, we would be so hyped for that game we would sure enough be ready. It's not going to be a surprise when we get up there and see that those guys are hyped and ready to play.

Jason Murphy

Tech ed used to be called shop and industrial arts. This changed to technology education during the 1980s, and it involves creating, inventing and constructing.

Natalie Boe

The recent tech gains were supported by a wave of upward revisions to earnings forecasts. But for those shares to go further from here, investors need to know how they are going to perform next year.

Takashi Miyazaki

We believe that it is important to honor the pioneers whose personal contributions made possible today's high-tech landscape. Seagate is proud to be the lead sponsor of the 2005 Computer History Museum Fellow Awards.

Bill Watkins

They're going to be Tech students in every sense.

Louisiana Tech

Cramer's moving the markets like the star Internet analysts did during the tech bubble. He's got a big following of people who think they're acting responsibly by following Cramer's advice--but in reality he's dangerous to their health.

Jacob Zamansky

New computer technology to prevent auto theft is being added to more and more new vehicle keys each year. However, motorists who lose these new high-tech car keys often face delays, inconvenience and significantly more expense in replacing keys, because locksmiths and other car repair facilities cannot obtain the information they need from car manufacturers in order to reproduce electronic keys.

Alice Bisno

We certainly welcomed the input we got from Ball State University, Purdue University, Ivy Tech, and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, ... Not that those were endorsements, but they were just very helpful in looking over our plan and offering suggestions to make it the best it could be.

Joe Russell

High-tech industries are important for a country with high wages as Germany is, so there are good points which can be used for Germany as a whole. But of course it will be difficult to duplicate all the measures.

Gernot Nerb

A lot of companies reported stronger-than-expected results, and we are not talking here just about tech companies.

Dick Green

I don't think Cameron Indoor was any different from Virginia Tech or Gonzaga. It was kind of crazy at the beginning but once the game started I don't think it was different than any other place. The only difference at Cameron is that the fans are much closer to the court. We played against a very good team, and that is the reason we lost.

Laurynas Mikalauskas

For example, a rancher can use tech cloth and rock to create a hardened crossing or feeding area in what had been wet spots. OSU Extension has materials available to explain how to stabilize those areas.

Shelby Filley

It looks like the tech rally has had a little hiccup. It will take markets lower tomorrow across the world.

Stephen Massocca

We have a drug collecting tech on call 24 hours a day because big companies work 24 hours a day.

Pam Slaton

Even until a few years back, replete with infrastructural deficiencies like inadequate water supply, power and poor roads, Indian could have hardly hoped of becoming a destination for manufacturing something as hi-tech as a microchip anytime before decades. But now as India witnesses an explosive consumption of electronic goods and equipment, this market has become too big to ignore.

Vinnie Mehta

The greatest mistake that people have made over the past three-to-six months regarding tech stocks is failing to listen to what the market is telling them.

Todd Campbell

This is the one game on the schedule we have to win. You can lose every other game, but you better beat Tech.

Greg Blue

Most high-tech companies have forecast a recovery in the second half, but that won't happen if the U.S. economy continues to falter.

Nobuaki Kurisu

Ten years ago, this was an engineering Valley that pumped out chips and computers. Now it's all about creative tech and staying on the cutting edge.

Doug Henton

I still think there might be damage in some of these tech stocks, so I'd be a little careful there.

Frank Gretz

The absence of Marsha on the Texas Tech sideline is a blow to the university, it's a blow to our conference and it's a blow to women's basketball. It has been an honor and a privilege to coach against Marsha for the past years.

Sherri Coale

There's nothing here that isn't available from [IBM's] competition, but what IBM has done is developed a little bit easier approach for the non-tech savvy, ... They've made it easier to identify what the problems are and where the exposures are.

Kevin Knox

People come to tech for that extra-special sizzle, not for the steak. By buying into Cisco they're buying into a market that's more moderate.

Stephen Kamman

Career Ed Expo gives career and tech education students a chance to show off what they know and can do. Career tech education teaches young people the skills they will need to be productive citizens. Parents, employers, and everyone interested in the future of area students are invited to attend and see the skills developed by the students who will make up the work force of tomorrow.

Billie Vaultonburg

The presidential race is still tight so market will be skittish, ... Tech stocks will probably trade sideways.

Ted Parrish

That's sort of where Google is today. Google has a small lead over a pack of competitors, all eager to fight for one of the few remaining high-margin zones left in tech-land.

Mark Matthews

We're excited and at the same time we have to start getting prepared. I'm looking forward to having a game in southern California. Texas Tech will be huge here, with a really exciting atmosphere. New Mexico State is always fun. Now, though, we will just have to focus on getting better in February. Then March.

Jordan Palmer

Earnings remain fairly strong, and stocks are still inexpensive when compared with other asset classes. Many stocks in the tech, financial and telecommunication sectors remain inexpensive when compared with other asset classes.

Rick Campagna

As it's a community college, Wake Tech is audited on a pretty frequent basis. When we conduct their next full financial audit, this will be one of the first things we look at, to make sure they've cleaned up their disclosure procedures.

Dennis Patterson

The future in (agricultural) bio-tech is extremely promising for the south and east part of Arkansas. Paper mills (that are failing economically) have new markets for making ethanol from wood products.

Brad Greenway

The market was very nervous in the last minutes as (the tech-heavy U.S.) Nasdaq dove sharply. It was pure Nasdaq influence - nothing else.

Gabriel Jafet

It's high-tech material with low-tech toys.

Mark Rappaport

We had a couple of mistakes down the stretch and that cost us the game. Tech is a great team and they put a lot of pressure on an offense. We felt like we could move the ball and we were able to, but they made a few more plays than us at the end.

Joshua Tinch

It remains to be seen how many people go down the stretch, but Tech will be one of them certainly. They're very talented, athletic and deep. Obviously, they're playing well right now.

Dave Loos

We would love to put a third or fourth store in the Raleigh market but it (the area's economy) has been soft, affected by the downturn in high-tech jobs.

Doug Sullivan

The real goal is to attract business and create new high-wage, high-tech jobs here in the future. We want to ensure that people can live and work in the area.

Ted Astolfi

We beat students attending tech schools. Our students will represent the entire state at the national competition. I am so proud of them.

Larry Gutshall

Consumer oriented chip companies are seeing more strength now. The rest of tech is still pretty weak.

Apjit Walia

We're looking forward to Virginia Tech right now, they're pretty much dead even with us in rankings and with players. If we can get that win, I think we will be rolling from there into the Big Ten matches.

Mark Barry

This is a great opportunity to work with a dynamic industry. Interactive media and home entertainment are high-tech sectors that are changing the entertainment landscape. I look forward to being part of the team that works with policymakers to support the continued innovation and growth of this industry.

Stuart Spencer

To remain the world's high-tech leader, we must have more and better educated students entering math and science fields. The growing math and science gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world is a potentially devastating crack in American competitiveness. The president has clearly recognized importance of this issue to our nation's economic strength.

Ralph Hellmann

In our high-tech era, deleting somebody from your cell phone book is the equivalent of throwing them out and shunning them.

James Katz

What the market is having trouble with isn't that business is bad but that tech stocks are expensive. We're not sure whether the level of earnings is good enough to move stocks even from here.

Mark Herskovitz

This was a good Texas Tech team, as good as they've had in a while. They're another Big 12 team like Baylor and we're playing much better.

Pat Murphy

I don't want to bust my [expletive] all the time and have it turned over to somebody who has no idea what they hell they're doing or knows what coaching at Tech is all about, ... This way, it has somebody coming into it that is conducive to Tech and can maintain and improve things.

Bob Knight

For our university, it's real bad to lose to them. You don't want Georgia Tech to have bragging right for a whole year.

Greg Blue

Our strength (in Florida) is job creation, and our weakness is the quality of those jobs. It's nice that (high-tech) is growing, but it's not nearly as significant as they'd like you to believe.

Bruce Nissen

Tech stocks are boasting high multiples, Sony Shares are trading at 44 times its projected fiscal 2006 earnings and many others are exceeding the 21.8 average for all firms traded on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Jo Kawakami

If you going to make a difference you have to bring some tech to the table, and we certainly do.

Chris Weitz

As a general rule, techs got ahead of themselves last year. There's a 'priced to perfection' mentality with tech now.

Michael Cuggino

Dell had some very good numbers in what has been a weak quarter for tech, but the results are more indicative of their success in gaining market share. There is nothing in their statement that implies IT (information technology) spending has picked up.

Walter Winnitzki

He laid down his life so other Marines would be safe, and he did it willingly. Every EOD tech that is over there does the same thing a hundred times a day, and they don't think about themselves. They think about the Marines . . . They think about the children that are over there.

Malia Fry

I suspect we're really reaching a bubble in tech stock conditions, ... It is a herd mentality. You run the risk of really being whipsawed here.

Peter Andersen

Our goal is to become Westchester's premiere provider of tech support to professional service firms and other clients.

Ricardo Garcia

It's a paper-thin margin. It's irrelevant, because Virginia Tech is not going to catch Southern Cal and they have a faint hope of catching Texas. Virginia Tech isn't going to catch Southern Cal before they (the Trojans) catch Texas.

Jerry Palm

This [Microsoft news] is going to take a little while for the markets to digest, but there are a lot of tech reports due in the next few weeks, companies that could offer more positive guidance.

Brad Reback

(Tech) have contacted him a few times but haven't promised him anything. He's a bright kid. He won't let you know what he wants to do. He hasn't decided anything yet.

Jeffrey Harness

High-tech manufacturers aren't doing that badly in terms of fundamentals, but investors have decided that's all been factored in and are reacting only to the bad news.

Shinichi Ichikawa

Tech Data's IT expertise will enable our company to be a strong player in the IP surveillance market. Tech Data's move into security is in line with the ongoing convergence of the IT and security markets and will complement Axis' strength in traditional IT channels.

Fredrik Nilsson

With the cooling U.S. economy and a series of profit warnings from tech firms both at home and abroad, high tech shares appear too risky at the moment to handle.

Toshihiro Koizumi

Tex Tech is a leader in the textile industry and the company and its employees deserve to be singled out as the best in the business. Not only is Tex Tech setting the bar and influencing textile production all over the world, they also have local influence by helping to propel Maine's technology sector forward.

Governor Baldacci

We had a reasonable move in some of the tech stocks and Nortel had a very lackluster one and that's not healthy.

Gerald Vincent

Election years are typically not good for tech stocks. I'm not sure why that's the case.

Mark Herskovitz

It's bragging rights. When you go back home, you have to hear everybody talking about, 'Oh, we beat y'all.' We already lost to Georgia Tech, so we can't lose to Georgia, too.

Brad Lester

People kind of jumped the gun on tech stocks. Every time there's anticipation of a pick-up in the economy, people put a lot of leverage in technology. But it's going to have fits and starts before it gets going again. It's going to be more of a trading vehicle initially.

Barry Berman

The large cap tech stocks in particular are really looking very, very attractive right now. At the moment, the small investor can start to step in, albeit slowly, because when these things begin, they don't typically turn right around. We could be looking at you know a weak quarter. But some of the large cap quality growth companies look very attractive right now.

Grace Fey

I've been coaching here for seven years and this is the best Tech team I've played against.

Tommy Connor

I don't plan on making money in tech through M&A. Investors should look for tech stocks with good valuations and good organic growth.

Sunil Reddy

None of that high-tech stuff.

Gene Smith

At some point, it may dry up a little bit in terms of a regional draw. If that happens, we'll deal with it when we have to deal with it. But we haven't had Clemson. We haven't had Virginia Tech. Georgia Tech's probably in that mix, and Maryland. And we wouldn't have any problem inviting somebody back, either.

Will Webb

I'm just so anxious to get back. I want to help these guys get the job done. Being away like this made me know how much I really love those guys, love Virginia Tech. I can't even explain how much I missed it.

Branden Ore

We're really interested in the high-tech start-ups; companies literally started in garages, basements, university labs and spin-offs from bigger businesses. They are the ones that need cash desperately and can't go to the venture capitalists or the banks unless they want $5 million, or have a prototype ready or a fully developed process.

John Tesoriero

We still think there's at least 10 percent upside in tech, ... The sector's had a tremendous run, so it's not surprising that it's taking a rest. There will be follow through. When that follow through will take place is anybody's guess.

Robert Straus

There's no unilateral belief about tech stocks. People are confused and somewhat justifiably.

Arnie Berman

People around here are more wired than most people are and understand technology better. So I'd say there's more of a demand for [high-tech] here than at some other parks, ... We actually have had suite-holders ask, 'We do have modem access out of our suites, right?' .

Bill Schlough

I think we continue to get better and better with our road play. It's almost like it's our home away from home now since we don't have very many home games, the next two again are on the road and one team we've faced before (Virginia) and one team we don't have to travel as far to face (Georgia Tech). We've been intentional in preparing for it and we're going to be our best come Sunday.

Sue Semrau

We're hoping to continue to play well and Lane Tech will definitely be a big test for us.

Kenny Fullman

Our differentiating factors are our employees and the outstanding services we provide to our customers. While high-tech systems have been implemented to complement our business, we have remained very high-touch with our customers.

Gayle Devin

Generally, tech is still healthy. People were getting irrational with expectations. Just because a company is a little light on sales or earnings doesn't mean the sector is doing badly.

Ted Parrish

It's really paid off to have active managers like Bob Stansky during the first six months of the year. Fidelity managers really took advantage of the market correction in April and May to add to their tech positions.

Don Dion

Man, I thought [Tech] had a chance.

Nat Dorsey

There's no shortage of issues for unions to organize around in high-tech--job insecurity, the threat of outsourcing. It's not an issue of whether there'd be responsiveness.

Kent Wong

Most teams don't have the speed of Georgia Tech. It feels like [we have] already been through some of the worst. It can only get better.

Immanuel Hutcherson

The issue of high tech is a big one with many components and we really want to get it into the open and onto the agenda. These politicians do seem to grasp that there is an issue here, at least related to the people side, because I tend to split it into two ? the people side and the industry side.

Gary Davis

There is no real solution to stop identity theft immediately but the big tech trend is to focus on requiring stronger forms of authentication. And that's where security companies come into play.

Michael Tieu

I got an excuse this morning that students don't want to get up that early. That's what a father of two [Tech students] told me.

Tim Knight

You want to protect the football, no matter what. Being that it's Virginia Tech and they got us last year and it's such a big rival, it just adds that much more to it.

Adam Bednarik

Rotation is indeed a reality but, if the economy is doing better, tech stocks will lead it because they are the new industrials.

Joe Battipaglia

The market is much stronger now. From an employment standpoint it's growing in a number of different areas, not just high tech. The growth rate is slower and, in my opinion, more sustainable, and the housing market is on very solid footing.

Charles Heimsath

I never forgot how Ed took me in as an assistant here [1987-88] when my father [Charlie] got out of coaching at Tech. It ended up being a very good year here and it was probably a year that helped me get the head job here when Ed moved on.

Page Moir

When you go in facing Texas and Texas Tech, [which] are always up there in the baseball polls, they're going to be ready. It's a Rice-Texas game. It's always a shootout.

Aaron Luna

With the Fed raising rates, the more speculative tech stocks start to fade and the good-old favorites come back in style. I think investors are going after safer but still strong companies.

Dennis Mckechnie

People are hesitant to trade high-tech issues and are waiting for their earnings results.

Hiroichi Nishi

The sentiment was to close out positions before Nortel's release. If you've got a bellwether tech like Nortel announcing, you don't want to be caught on the wrong side of that.

James Niosi

There's a broad sell off. The later part of the year normally is meant to show gains for the tech sector. There is nothing positive in the market to drive up shares.

Bill O'neill

There's some really good talent in the western part of the state. Virginia Tech used to have its way over there until Al Groh got to Virginia. Now there is some really good battling going on for those players. It reminds me of Iowa and Iowa State. You see battles that you didn't see 5-10 years ago and it's really good for the state.

Tom Lemming

I'd say we're doing very well, all things considered, ... Clearly, there is more money available out there, when even sectors that are fairly stretched, like tech and banks, are doing well today.

Joseph Battipaglia

I left for California at the age of 26 for two reasons: One, I wanted to explore the center of the high tech world;  and secondly, (I wanted)  develop a career independently without the status of my family.

James Shen

It's fair to say that we're seeing an improvement after a soft patch when a lot of companies were missing numbers in April. There were very few tech companies that missed in July.

Bert Hochfeld

The Lehman upgrade of Cisco will have an initial positive impact on the tech sector.

Richard Skaggs

We'd never beat an upper-echelon team. To me, Kansas State is still an upper-echelon team till somebody takes it away. They still beat Texas Tech [Jan. 4]. How did it measure? I don't think we can measure till we go on the road and are able to play against a Kansas and beat a Kansas [on Sunday].

Gary Blair

The rally this morning couldn't hold up because there's just no conviction. There's some selling pressure there, but it's more that buyers have no religion. Tech and telecom are this huge drag on the market. People are buying very defensively in health care, chemicals, consumer products and pharmaceuticals.

Tim Heekin

This area is front and center with pretty much everybody, especially in the high-tech industry, where you have quick product model revisions. Being able to ramp them very quickly into high volume and being able to step on the brake very quickly require demand and supply forecasting processes as well as replenishment processes to be best-in-class.

Greg Clark

The strong Nasdaq rally pushed domestic tech stocks up in the past week and now there is some ongoing consolidation.

Kevin Lin

The geography of these projects varies from mechanical engineering to the high-tech sphere and chemical industry.

German Gref

The biggest issue for tech is interest rates. Companies sensitive to growth rates as well as interest rates are getting hit rather hard.

Kent Engelke

I still prefer technology stocks. The tech sector is still the place were the earnings momentum is.

Courtney Smith

We're not trying to make it out like we're trying to run up the score. We're just worried about Texas Tech and working hard.

Cody Hodges

There are a couple of tech conferences this week and some economic reports due, but other than that, the problem is there's just no real catalyst right now.

Troy Nickerson

If we're going to continue to bring high-tech jobs to Kansas and move our state forward, we need to strengthen science standards, not weaken them, ... Stronger public schools ought to be the mission of the Board of Education, and it's time they got down to the real business of strengthening Kansas schools.

Kathleen Sebelius

I think you have to pick carefully through the tech sector. A large swathe of Japan's technology sector, they're fighting a strong war out there.

Marc Desmidt

It may have taken a little while for (3M and Lexmark) to sink in. Lexmark is certainly not a bellwether, but it was one of the stable names in the tech sector.

Brett Gallagher

Tech is a great place for opportunity, much in the same way that private equity firms looked at manufacturing in the 80s.

Jesse Reyes

A lot of tech stocks that were 'Steady Eddies' were not subject to hype. They were boring stocks. But those stocks had strong top- and bottom-line growth.

Todd Campbell

I think you're going to have days focused on earnings and that will hurt tech [issues]. You're going to have days focused on economic statistics, which, if they give a slow growth look, will be taken to heart.

Barry Hyman

I love it the way Terry always mentions Louisiana Tech.

Karl Malone

[They can] shout down the head of the physics department at Cal Tech.

Adm James Stockdale

The prospect of an aggressive U.S. interest rate hike has made high-tech stocks look like a safer haven.

Tetsuya Ishijima

There have been things moving pretty fast and furious here, and it's not high tech.

Mike Ferguson

If you look at the lead we've built up this year versus the benchmark and our peers, it came during the period when tech stocks were undergoing a sell-off, ... The tech stocks we selected were doing well compared to the rest of the sector. They held their ground.

Scott Evans

They've coupled a homespun, humorous campaign with high-tech resources. You've got to give them credit. They know what they don't want, and they are willing to take the time and effort to organize and oppose it.

Sean T. Connaughton

I believe our offense can put up points just like Tech.

Limas Sweed

If Virginia Tech is undefeated, it could be No. 1 in the computers (at the end of the season).

Jerry Palm

The apples are riper. Tech companies going public are more established compared to the ones at the time of the bubble.

Kathy Smith

McAfee is honored to have Tech Data as a customer, to receive this year's Difference Maker award and to be recognized by Tech Data among so many distinguished IT Vendors, ... During 2005, McAfee and Tech Data have collaborated on numerous initiatives that will increase the overall sales experience for our reseller community, and we are committed to building on this momentum during 2006.

David Roberts

Tech is a big part of emerging markets coming back.

Bill Rocco

Mistakes cost you, and we had a few that really hurt us today. It wasn't just on that goal that got waived off, but we had five blue shirts standing around watching two (Tech goals) on rebounds when our goalie didn't know where the puck was. We have no one to blame there but ourselves.

Mark Duffy

Tech shares have taken a real hammering lately and were due for a rebound.

Minoru Tada

There may be a bit of a slowdown now, but long-term, (tech trends are) extremely positive.

Gene Glazer

There are these little bursts of good news in the tech area.

Charles Pradilla

If our outlook is correct, very rich valuations for the best tech stocks will persist, ... Maybe for years.

Jeffrey Applegate

This is a real problem only if you are working in a high-tech field or biotech or anywhere where there is highly-competitive software development or research and analysis going on.

Pam Dixon

Really, the Internet is broader than one sector. We're going to focus on companies that focus the least on technology. Tech companies just are not attractive. They are too competitive, and they have predatory pricing.

Ryan Jacob

The first high-tech senior facility in the world.

Stephen Foster

I am willing to make the bet that given the global recovery we've seen in Asia and Europe, South and Central America, and here in the U.S. in a big way, despite the slowdown, the tech infrastructure, Web infrastructure, and e-commerce software names still have a tremendous earnings potential going forward.

Ash Rajan

Tech really did hang in there with us for a while. They gave us all we could handle.

Jim Dakin

The high-tech industry is in great need of highly skilled workers. Too many Americans are unable to fill these jobs because they lack the necessary skills. To ensure that every child has a quality education, Governor Bush will close the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their peers, improve math and science instruction, and enhance the use of technology in the classroom.

Paul Beck

Sentiment on junior high-tech stocks and China high-tech stocks is quite negative for the time being and until we see Nasdaq stabilize we won't see a big change in the market psychology.

James So

I watched that last UH game here (at Tech) with both pain and appreciation because of what (UH) did offensively.

Jeff Reinebold

In some other areas we are actually fairly low tech and proud of it.

Tom Dempsey

You've got the pressures of people being pushed out of, or jumping out of, high-tech positions. Then you've got the opportunity of brick and mortar companies that are looking to integrate into the dot.com world.

Dave Opton

With tech stocks, you know, you have to look out over the long term. These are stocks that vacillate between exuberance and panic. It's going to happen, and so today maybe we are more on the panic side. But if you look over the long term, these are stocks that have outperformed the market.

Richard Scocozza

Pleasanton isn't part of the tech world. For them, it was, finally there is a big company here and it's going away.

Bob O'donnell

I had a good tournament. I had three falls: one tech fall and two pins. My final match, I was up 13-0, got caught in a headlock. Luckily, I got out of that.

Connor Mcdonald

The end result is an employee who doesn't even have to read a word; they just have to look at a picture. If somebody really wants to get high-tech, they can monitor from a remote location in real time exactly what's in the oven.

Harry Jacoby

Dan is a winner. He believes in winning, he believes in competing, and he thinks he can help Georgia Tech as we lift our athletics program to the next level in the future.

Wayne Clough

He and I will be at the game, but no, we won't be sitting on same side of the field, ... And besides my son, Sonny, is the co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach at Texas Tech.

Spike Dykes

We have bionic legs right here. These are very high tech.

Cameron Clapp

It's all about us. It's not about staying above Virginia Tech. We just have to play every game. We're not the ones who judge, so we can't worry what they think. We can just play.

Jonathan Scott

Smaller tech stocks would concern me. Their valuations are almost back to 1999 and 2000 levels.

Stephen Mergler

I've really loved playing basketball at Tech.

Johanna Fryer

Our advice to investors going into this period in time, ... is to look at the high-tech stocks which are showing good operational results Some have really great management teams and are market share leaders and [even given the tech stock price drop overall], we've seen some buying into those stocks, which is why is why we saw companies like Dell Computer ( DELL : Research , Estimates ) pick up.

Jennifer Smith

The industry's relentless downsizing, health care cost shifting, job exporting and visa importing strategies are causing tech workers to be less optimistic about their futures in one of America's most important industries.

Marcus Courtney

Northern Virginia is tech central, and we are delighted that BDPA has a home in this technology corridor. This chapter will help companies grow their talent pool.

Wayne Hicks

Intel always has been and will remain a strong tech and manufacturing-focused company.

Krishna Shankar

Although the tech job gains in Utah seem small, these are significant, compared with California, which has the nation's largest tech employment base. California lost 10,600 jobs in 2004, and Texas, which has the nation's second-largest tech employment, lost 10,500 jobs.

Jessica Wright

We have taken swift steps to secure the information and to remove the data from the Vermont Tech server and from other sources.

Allan Rodgers

I wouldn't say it's innovative to take $25 million from the General Fund and give it to the high-tech folks for job recruitment. Crazy? Yes. Innovative? No.

Steve Voeller

Anything that is high-mass and low tech, we're going to make there on Mars. Anything that is really high tech--like sensors, motors and complex mechanism--most of those things are relatively low mass and can be imported from Earth.

Joseph Palaia

We find that all the time, ... High growth, high-tech issues are at a point now when they're horrendously highly valued, which means he's excluding buying sectors that are fairly or undervalued.

Frank Armstrong

Now they have a pretty strong portfolio. This is a powerful tech story for the company, and they need that.

John Humphreys

Because the Nikkei is sensitive to tech stocks, their losses kept it from making the push to 13,000.

Tsubasa Ihara

I could see how that helped her energy. It brought home the fact that it doesn't have to be anything high-tech. Just taking a walk every day can help with your health and your outlook.

Ken Bechtel

We definitely see Tech on the same level with Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Aaron Harris

For some of the newer teachers, the transition is natural. But ... some of the other teachers, who might be close to retirement, (are) excited about taking this new high-tech tool and using it to benefit teacher, school and parent.

Andy Nelson

They're now looking at a situation where their shareholders are going to see the fund is down for the year but they're going to have to pay taxes on large gains. The managers are selling tech stocks that they might have bought at higher prices to realize losses and offset the gains.

Alfred Kugel

If you break out tech stocks, the broader stock market hasn't done much of anything since 1998, so I think we're getting ready for a move here. It doesn't look like interest rates are going a lot higher.

Rolf Elgeti

In this game you really can't look past anyone and take them lightly. Otherwise it can sneak up and bite you. We can't look past this weekend and ahead next weekend to Georgia Tech.

The tech market was a speculators' market back then. It was a difficult environment to invest in.
