Gang- I've heard no talk of Yahoo's earnings and its effect on ATHM tomorrow. The Street seems to have liked that the whisper number was met. Because ATHM has been dubbed an Internet stock, it will rise and fall with the group. The Yahoo news should bold well for ATHM and other Internet stocks tomorrow. Good night, All. Ed

Educator I've got to add something that keeps haunting me.(not to mention that I would have put a footing in for the wall) Anyway didn't we have this same battle a few years back with cable TV. Meaning, HBO CINAMAX,ESPN,ect. What I'm getting at is they fought and fought as I watched and then bingo free access. What it was, was a chance to subscribe to anything I wanted. also a chance for the cable Co. to raise the bill. At the time I wasn't unhappy. Gee! I could watch everything. What Am I getting at.It is the same thing that's happening now. @home picks up 9 or 10 dollar fee so AOL can use it for a while for no added cost. Being the dummy that I am I will try it and after the trial is over, will I really need AOL. Regards Rg

What do you really think would be best for the consumer?" My answer was open access. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. A while back we all cheered the breakup of T and I was one of the first to switch to MCI for long distance, shooting the finger at Ma Bell.Now....oh how I long for the days when I wasn't constantly bothered by long distance companies calling me at home and at my business trying to get me to switch. And yes I've been slammed and crammed, both of which, took months and countless phone calls to sort out. All the while, my total phone bills have skyrocketed. What am I getting at? Picture yourself at home around dinner time getting the calls from all the ISPs to switch to them....or worse, they have pop-up ads, delivered straight to your desktop. When I heard that they were openning up both the local phone service and the local utility to competition I just screamed in horror. Give me an ISP that works, period! Someone did a study years ago that compared consumer appliances in this country to those in Europe. The Americans had twenty choices for everything, the Germans maybe three.....guess who had better quality products? The Europeans....even when the appliances were made by the same company! Choice and competition is way over rated as a method to acheive quality.
