Professor Dotcomm, Your post on Apples & Oranges comparison i found interesting. Seems that the cost of growing apples and oranges these past for example 20 years has not been helped very much by advances in technology. Most likely the cost of that 5 cents apple in 1980 is very close to being equal to today's 50 cent same apple. But as you described very well as food for thought the computers have advanced greatly unlike the apple in both how its made and what it becomes. Another example for folks over 50 who did not have a job profession that let them observe the changes in computers these many years since IBM made the first huge in size and cost for military use could be my simple observation that today at BJ's or SAM's warehouse store i can buy a nice color t.v. for $99 of which it might have been $99 in 1980 for a similiar viewing size black & white t.v. Maby soon scientist will zap an apple seed so that each apple will grow to the size of a watermellon. What i post next may be off topic to those who see no connection to the failuring dot-coms and gold prices, and if so, then so, but please read on and help me and others still looking for that nasty named web site that has people vote for the next dot-bomb crash & burn. I got this from the Dutch Central Bank thread and asked for help there, but so far no help. From: Alan Whirlwind There is some internet site devoted entirely to dotcoms that have risen to glory and disintigrated. The list is fairly lengthy. Some dirtyword with a dotcom at the end is supposed to get you to the site, but I forget which dirty word. I think anything that makes it another six months will likely be around awhile. --Alan From: Doug A K I tried many combinations of dirty words but no luck in getting to that place, places i was taken to did show many combinations of expressions of dirty words by men + woman + **. I did find one place of those dot com already failed, but i believe that dirty word web site you mentioned also has a contest of sorts where people voted for which next dot com will fail. search.thestandard.com If you learned of that url then please in a non dirty way please post it, for example, f***-dot-coms.com Others i heard about but did not work are as follows dot bombs .com dot com failures .com thanks doug
