John, >I am continually surprised at the way the Internet recreates itself with new functions/applications. This puppy is only five to ten
years old (depending on how you define it), and it's morphing into something new every six months.


Actually, the Internet has its origins in the late 60s, as the Arpanet, which it was called until the 80s. It was originally funded by grants from the DOD (not Al Gore), who wanted a bomb-proof (or whatever they could most reasonably get) national defense communications system. They didn't care for just phones. HTTP and HTML got it going re commercial. If these latest things had happened a decade earlier, could we have started making money on stocks like Cisco a decade earlier?
