Yes ideaman, I do understand what you are saying here, maybe I overstated in reference to other tech companies. As I did not name a company, I did mean Microsoft. If I had to think of a company that has stood on it's own for years and made tons of money, I think of Microsoft and Windows by itself, but that is only my perception not a fact. With Cisco I also think of Nortel or Lucent. With AOL I think of At Home maybe Microsoft and others. With Amazon, even though I own some, they are not making a cent and I am wondering if someone like Wallmart may come into the picture and give them a run. This is just the way I perceived the situation at the time, but after reading your post I see that we either see this from a different angle, don't agree, or I was confusing the subject. Whatever the case I do not disagree with you, a company does have to be very aggressive and eat up all the market share it can before the other guy does, if it wants #1 spot. I was really just trying to say that competition is attracted to a market that has potential $$$ to be made, and that competition may be a good sign of large market potential. The fact that IIA was first at this does not guarantee #1 status. Looking at the share price, they are not there at the moment. Yes they can survive competition,I just hope they do not sleep much for awhile. Goodnight BID daddy
