sarkie, I have been checking out that small business center page....it puts together in one place a lot of useful information for the small business man....whats cool about it, is that it takes the captive audience of some 500,000 small businesses and it commercializes their value while providing a service...that is to say much of what is on there are simple advertising links to other sites whom I am sure are paying gnet a pretty penny for that right and despite the fact that it is really pretty much a giant advertising page it still has a very useful function.....as a stock holder I really like that...on the other hand as a consumer I wish there was a way that such a page could offer the small business man some type of guide or choice to the products instead of just to one vendor...what I am saying is as this space gets more competitive the intelligent user will ultimately choose the site that provides an information source which is not so biased by commercial interests and as such ultimately gnet might want to rethink this concept and shoot for the long term buck instead of the quick buck. Sarkie, I am worried about LA.....earthquates in Turkey, Taiwan, and now Mexico City
