Michael, I fully understand the selling of ad space. My question comes in light of a very informative article in the Dallas Morning News that tells of the major ad agencies shifting clients away from banner ads BECAUSE THEY AREN'T PROFITABLE. They have a click rate of less than 10% and sales figures at 10% of click rate (or 1%). This in a market where only 51% of families OWN computers, much less have access to the internet. I didn't know GMGC was in the business of ad sales. If that's the case I'll pass of buying this stock. Mike
