Brent.... Emotional about the stock, are we? Didn't know that I was a chump and an idiot...but thank you for clearing that up. What about MSN Brent? 2.5 million subscribers, very respectable. Are you aware that AOL currently has close to 9 million subscribers? Have you tried the MSN service? If you have, I'm sure you have enjoyed it immensly. Part of desktop for 97/98, which by the way isn't all that great. Read some articles on it to see if it's worth the upgrade. Hmm...the fact that MSN is already bundled into Windows 95 should help too. Maybe they should take it off...you know they don't want any more subscribers than they can handle. Oh yeah, and don't forget AOL, Prodigy and Compuserve that is also bundled with Microsoft software. Like I said before, competiton is great. Keeps companies on their toes. If MSN is so inclined to hold down subscriber base (as you say), that's their perogative. It's just amazing to me, though, how the MSN executives get so excited when subscribers sign on to MSN. Press release here, a press release there. They must not be following their business plan... Enjoy shorting, buying puts, or watching this stock from the sidelines. S.
