re: onsl <Had they thought about what they were trying to achieve maybe they would be where ebay is now. > onsl was one of Harmon's 1998 stocks to watch, and was THE online auction play until ebay ipo'd in 9/98. However, onsl did nothing but fritter away mindshare capital as it shuffled business plans, as you point out. onsl has disappointed everyone.

>>Fundamentally I don't like onsl, because Kaplan has changed his business plan dramatically over the years... you guys think Bezos is a yo-yo, << I don't like onsl too. As a matter of fact there's more garbage out there in these I-net shopping stores than they have garbage can's. If it wasn't for Kleiner there wouldn't be a Bezos, Kleiner will decide on what they want to do with Onsl, and Bezos will follow. Do you think Bezos orchestrated his investment in Drugstore, and Homegrocery? I can tell you emphatically, that he didn't. Kleiner is the Father and Bezos is just one of his many children. Most children obey what their Father say's to do, especially if they have a Father with a track record like Father Kleiner. Ps When Kleiner has their children come to their bi-annual meetings. Scott McNealy, Steven Case,Jim Clarke,Jeff Bezos,Terry Drayton, etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc stand up when John Doerr walks in the room.
