More from Marion on TMF on AOL:

"Yahoo is now worth more than most of the electric utility companies in the
United States. ( There is only four that have a greater market cap)
It is so easy to see why. Electricity is probably just a fad, whereas the
portal business is a guaranteed long term success. Barriers to entry are
small with electric companies. They merely have to build and operate nuclear
power plants. Whereas Yahoo must run a web site! The electric company
employees are easy to get ... engineers, nuclear power plant operators.
Now Yahoo has to hire "Yahoos," ( That's what they call all their employees)
These are highly trained people that must surf the web all day looking for
cooooooool web sites.
Plus there is so much competition with electric companies.... I switch
constantly.
Now Yahoo on the other hand has no competition. Yahoo is guaranteed that
every internet user will use them forever.
One other thing ... you can easily do without electricity ... but you can't do
without your portal!"
