It DOESN"T follow that investor's bank accounts will be transformed. take a look at the airline industry. that's been FANTASTIC, for us. u wouldn't have wanted to "own" United though

But how about the airplane manufacturers (analogy: SUNW hardware), the travel agents (analogy: SUNW software) and those airport gate taxes (I have no good analogy for SUNW here, nobody has yet figured out how to tax the Internet, but they will, and whoever does will be a great Investment. It may well be SUNW royalties on JINI/JXTA/Java/J2EE). I certainly wouldn't want to own the airlines (analogy: ISP's DSL vendors, and Telcos), and lookee, that's where all the trouble is right now. It certainly won't be Microsoft, they are like the old manufacturers of turbo-prop planes who went out of business, they can keep on adding propellers but the planes won't go any faster and keep falling out of the sky when they shake to pieces.

twister, I'm actually starting to enjoy this discussion with you. Let's keep this up eh?
