Noah Excellent summarization of RNWK. Thank you very much. I do have a question re the switching costs section. And, this may apply to more than one stock. Admittedly, WWW is still very young and a lot more is yet to come. Particularly in the multimedia arena. Yet, as time progresses, wouldn't the content providers get locked into their libraries of RNWK-format content, making it just a wee bit harder to switch. Real Network is very protective of its file formats and has a stable of lawyers just for that. Something along the lines of PostScript, so very queitly. As an aside: Technologically, I think RNWK is falling behind/not able to keep up, unless it is my exposure to MSFT that's blurring my vision and clogging my ears. At high end, supplying tools to universities etc., it has a lot of competition. Also: how do you quantify the recent flap over the covert customer data collection incident, where it came to surface the RNWK was quietly collecting user profiles while playing music, a la Big Brother. Do you think it's a moot point now ? Regards Dinesh
