Right you are Lance. Just because cell phones are popular and available doesn't mean pay phones are now obsolete!!! Ergo, Palm Pilots does not mean the demise of Internet kiosks. Kiosks are another convenience tool...there when you need it! But, I don't think they are the windfall to JNNE...Personally I have seen Internet Kiosks in airports, cafes, schools etc. I don't think they are making the owners rich! Quite a while back...about 5 months ago...I questioned whether owning/renting these kiosks was equivalent to owning/renting a vending machine. We need to own the product inside the machine...that is where the revenue is. Therefore... advertising and GoOn-line.com coupled with other Internet tie-ins for JNNE are what is important. Not the kiosk useage and small revenue it would generate. Also, what is going to be different about JNNE shopping web site vs. ONTV...? I saw ONTV share price spike up on various announcements of contracts with RONCO and other products to be sold at their web site...only to watch the price plunge down and remain there. The buzz on ONTV was incredible...and people who bought at the top...are suffering considerably I am sure. I know GoOn-line.com will have streaming video and different products, but still not sure if this is going to sustain a higher share price for any real length of time. Since I own about 20 stocks...I do not live, eat and breathe this stock. So, I tend to be a bit more skeptical then some others here. TIA, Mary
