Chris, the Beta site keeps crashing and burning; you need to keep trying though, because it is neat (colors excepted). Transaction handling is important now but absolutely critical in the BB, high speed environment Russell and Paul Allen are putting together. The 8 second rule applies in on-line transactions: if you can't handle the transaction in 8 seconds or less, you often lose the customer. Thus far the limitation has usually been the ISP/server; in Broadband, these limitations should disappear and speed is king. Sleeper
