I signed-on AT&T's Worldnet last week. At the top of the home page is an area to do searches with a default of Lycos. Clicking for other search engines, Alta Vista is not there but Yahoo, mentioned in the press release, is--along with Excite, Infoseek, Web Crawler, Snap, Hot Bod.

Although this can be interpreted as a clue that shareholders might get a piece of the action, I am wondering if this just means part of Rod's employment package includes a number of AV shares.
