Sandra, I was reading in the news that even Home Depot is planning to get into the internet. I guess if Zapata can do it, anyone can (g).

I've been keeping an eye on priceline.com. I think that the co. is well managed, agressive and has a great game plan. Today's news from priceline:

Priceline wins patent

<Priceline.com said the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office issued the Stamford, Conn.-based company U.S. patent No. 5,794,207 for the world's first buyer-driven e-commerce system. By using priceline.com's patented system, consumers can go to the Internet to name their price for goods and services, and sellers electronically decide whether to accept. The company said the patent covers both the broad concepts and key functionality components of buyer-driven commerce. According to the its developers, tens of millions of dollars have been invested in creating, refining and implementing the patented priceline.com system. "The PTO's actions support our nation's policy that cyberspace innovators should be encouraged and rewarded for advancing America's lead in Internet-based applications," said Priceline chairman Jay Walker. >

Looking for the IPO.
