TV Guide web site review :-) and speaking of impressions... I went there earlier this evening on another browser window, and checked it out. It's a very nice guide, & it does does a better job for me than Yahoo's GIST offering. It's easily 5 times faster, too. Here's the cool part...I left the browser window open, while I worked on some other stuff. I popped over again later to see what movies were on NOW, and it was already updated to the current half-hour, with just the movies, as I'd requested earlier. OK, so auto-refresh isn't that new and improved, but I thought that was pretty neat. I wonder if that somehow counts as a "customer impression," if it refreshes with a new ad while I'm not even looking at it. The banner ad does change at the top...I think. I've gotten pretty good at filtering those things out. If it is a customer impression, I'm leaving one browser window open on all three PCs with TVGuide on 24x7 to help drive up advertising rates!!!! <g> buck
