Larry, thanks for the free ISP story. Here free ISPs have not done well. BiggerNet in the Bay area went belly up just recently. There is no phone call revenue to share with phone companies here in the US, because additional local calls are free after the base fee. So the free ISP is forced to put an always-on-top ad on your screen to raise money. This ad is annoying because it covers some buttons and it gets little attention because it is one of many you see on the web. Free PCs - as Sam suggested - are more likely. Already MS, CPQ and anyone else I've ever contacted feel they have a right to intrude with pop-ups any time to try to sell me something, often under the guise of an upgrade offer. They might as well pay for the PC. [This intrusion is more prevalent on new PCs]. Gottfried So why are DD stocks worthless now?
