Indexes, Tech Stocks Down

Wall Street felt the pinch of falling technology stocks and a drop in overseas markets this morning. After an initial recovery from last week's plunge, technology stocks fell as fickle investors question how the slowing economies of Southeast Asia - an important growth market for the technology sector - could impact future earnings. The Dow was off 40.28 to 7,652.29, the Nasdaq off 2.57 to 1,634.76. Intel, 3COM, and Cisco all fell in trading.
