Absolutely true. But the day is coming when your TV will be your access to the internet.

The affordable PC and the Internet haven't caused anyone to say "IBM .. who's that?" They're a far bigger player than most people realize. There is no similarity between IBM and Goldman-Sachs. One sells commodities (computers, software, support services) and the other is a service provider (investment banking). Why do you think SSB, Schwab and Merrill Lynch are now becoming on-line brokerages? It's not because they want to, it's because they are in heated competition for every dollar. Goldman- Sachs can't hope to protect it's dominance in the IPO market when it charges exorbitant (outrageous?) margins for being a big name. Russell H. knew this and that's why we are here today.
