We're starting to marshal our resources at Tech Data to respond to the large opportunities.

Barb Miller

I call this 'high-tech meets the tractor' kind of project. The importance of the economic development of a $100 million plant can't be overstated. But what it does to (the price of) a bushel of corn also affects the farmer.

Bill Henderson

In the late '90s investors believed that tech was such a great secular growth story that cycles didn't matter. In this rebound, the only thing that matters is the economic context.

Arnie Berman

We've been thinking that the Nasdaq, as an index, would likely outperform a lot of the other indexes this year. It's a lot about secular growth. We're seeing growth in technology. And for the most part, it's been a tech year.

Stuart Freeman

It's truly an honor to carry on my dad's legacy here at Texas Tech.

Pat Knight

It's just fun to go back and see my friends, neighbors ... I get to see my whole family there, ... My brother plays at Virginia Tech and they don't play this weekend so he's actually coming up to the game. It'll be cool. I like going home, you feel comfortable. You just try to play as good as you can because you know everyone will be watching.

Chris Hall

The kind of intensity we had against Lane Tech, we'll need once again against Hyde Park.

Jesse Chick

We're seeing the idea that technology is starting to get back in the driver's seat. And tech is a catalyst that you need for the market to rally.

Christopher Johnson

The tech stocks have been beaten up quite badly and I think a lot of investors have seen, after getting beaten up, they come back strongly. So, I think, from a timing perspective, that could also be happening.

Gene Glazer

Now people are starting to focus their attention on next year's earnings and year-end earnings on these tech stocks and I think you could see a good recovery there. Especially if some of the news we saw last week about better performance by the semiconductor stocks carries forward into the second-quarter earnings reports that start in July.

Bob Dickey

It was a roller-coaster ride in terms of starting out 5-0 and then struggling at the end, but then regaining focus and composure in the last two games. It's a shame this one goes down in the loss column. But if you look at the effort and the focus in the Virginia Tech game and last night, certainly it was dramatically different than what we saw during the three-game losing streak.

Dave Hart

Nobody we've played this season, ... has come with this much size, this much talent and this much experience. North Carolina and Georgia Tech probably have the most overall talent. Now that they're healthy, they're probably believing they can do it.

Rick Pitino

The market is becoming very nervous about the earnings outlook for the tech sector after a string of bearish outlooks by tech giants such as Nortel and Sun Microsystems.

Norihiro Fujito

You're going to see the tech sector grow in high yield. Anyone (tech company) whose market cap is under $20 billion could be an LBO candidate.

Conrad Smith

We're expecting a pretty tough first half of the year -- tech profits will be up about 10 percent this year compared to 30 percent last year, ... But by the second half of the year, the economy may brighten, earnings comparisons are easier and we could start to see an easier tech tape.

Steve Milunovich

One lesson I've learned (in this production) is that the real gospel message of the cross, the blood and the resurrection is as powerful as it ever was, but the way it is presented from one generation to the next is vitally different. This being a sight and sound generation, we have to go more toward the dramatic and tech approach to get their interest.

Annette Lee

Over a three-year period we'll look to invest the fund in roughly 40 companies across a set of industry sectors that include mobile computing, Web-enabled software, biotech, medical devices, semiconductors, and then an area that we are highlighting this time that we call green tech, which is new energy sources and things like that.

Brook Byers

We're going to war again, another cycle. It's like a high-tech version of the Roman Empire all over again. We won't break these cycles until we start going inside and questioning our own selves - we keep looking outside for answers, when really the solution and the answers are inside us all.

Dave Davies

I think it's progress from them. They said when they withdrew from the market that it was because tech stocks were down. They've certainly had developments since then.

Gayle Anderson

They're tech savvy, bright, innovative, hard-charging. They're looking for a community that allows them new opportunities and that provides some buzz.

Mike Reed

What we're seeing with tech is consistent with the last few weeks and before. There's a lot of red out there and it doesn't seem to be any one sector in particular.

Walter Winnitzki

If Virginia Tech is the only one-loss team, then they make the Sugar Bowl. Otherwise, they don't.

Jerry Palm

Green-tech could be the largest economic opportunity of the 21st Century.

John Doerr

The project hasn't developed as fast as we wanted it to. However, C-Tech has met all the requirements of the agreement so far, and we fully expect them to meet the next one in June 2006.

Gary Vest

Things are stabilizing but there is still not a change that would suggest a major new spending cycle in tech.

David Joy

We're confident about the longer-term prospects for the fund. Although it may not keep up with its more aggressive peers in a tech rally, we think its attention to long-term cash flow generation can help it in a slower-growth environment, when an earnings miss can send a richly priced stock reeling.

John Coumarianos

If there is any more trouble, his Virginia Tech career is effectively ended.

Charles Steger

Why not come out and push (an opponent's) nose in the dirt until they stop it. If they don't stop it, keep doing it. That's what Virginia Tech does.

Don Soldinger

In March and April, interest rates were going up very gradually, and tech investors figured Greenspan would taper off, because this was an election year. Now, the inflation picture is getting worse, and Greenspan is getting serious. And they're feeling the effects of higher interest rates.

Bernard Baumohl

The marketing function in tech is undergoing significant fundamental change. All tech marketers need to improve their effectiveness and IDC research demonstrates that a number of leaders are emerging. IDC will identify and then analyze the marketing management practices of these leaders, with the objective of sharing their techniques with others in the industry.

Michael Gerard

The U.S. economy's growth is making further interest rate increases likely and that's been translated into this market, affecting high-tech shares in particular.

Junichi Misawa

Everybody has their secret blends. For a while there was one called I-Hop because of the syrup and sugar that went into it. Making blends becomes a scientific thing, kind of like hi-tech fishing.

Mario Lopez

It grows the talent pool. It encourages employees looking from California, Seattle or Boston — when they're looking to move to Austin for a tech job, they want to know their other options so they can grow their career.

Larry Warnock

You would be hard pressed to read this case to say that innovators will have to design their tech differently. I think the court was pretty clear in stating that the technological design is not a factor in determining inducement.

Gigi Sohn

We're so close to Florida Tech that you get the children of professors and students. We benefit from that.

Eliud Nieves

Technology tends to be regarded as less defensive, so if investors become more nervous, they would tend to gravitate away from some of the tech stocks.

Elizabeth Mackay

The recent surge in tech exports from Wisconsin is a strong sign that things are going well.

Ed Longanecker

The reality is that we have a history with Gore and have worked with him on many issues. There are people in the Bush camp who don't seem to grasp tech issues, and they have sent out some signals I'm not comfortable with. Gore really understands the essence of the industry, and I think his appointees to key places would reflect that understanding.

Ed Black

This also demonstrates a present trend for some people to try to hamper the normal export of the U.S. of some high-tech products to China, and hamper the improvement and development of China-U.S. relations.

Zhu Bangzao

There is absolutely some truth in that. To find appealing ideas in tech is very difficult to do.

Zach Shafran

You can always pay a dividend but once you start, it's hard to stop, ... Is paying a dividend in the long-term best interest of tech companies? That question is still up in the air.

Zach Shafran

The doubles point was critical. We came out flat, and they took it to us in doubles. But we've come back after losing the doubles point before. We believed we could come back, and we had our chances. Give Texas Tech credit, their young players played like veterans.

Eric Hayes

In my heart, I believe Tech is one of the best 24 teams in the nation.

Erin Grant

Business Matchmaking gives us yet another avenue to support small business owners. We provide a tech center at each event, which offers Internet access, printing facilities and staffers to answer any questions small business owners may have as they prepare for their one-on-one appointments.

Eric Brennan

Most life sciences companies require significant and unique infrastructure to develop their products. Through this development, the state of Georgia and Georgia Tech have continued to support the important contributions life sciences make to the economy of the state and for that we are sincerely grateful.

Eric Tomlinson

Five years ago, there probably wasn't a tech CEO worrying about patents. But, as these people [trolls] acquire portfolios of patents, there's been an explosion of cease and desist letters and actual litigation.
