THE JET FUEL WHICH LETS THE PLANES FLY. Here are two possible exceptions to <a rogues gallery of vastly overpriced issues> Digital Island, ISLD, and Infospace, INSP, the latter already turning a profit. They are cheap by comparison to AMZN, RNWK, YHOO. they are good stories, from my ex-journalists point of view. Infospace may be able to control the method of distribution of content on the Internet, while Digital Island provides a new, and at least for now, "inimitable" speed-up of content delivery, including e-commerce and video. Plus a partnernship with Sun Microsystems involving 5000 SUNW servers using their software. Both are also aiming for the wireless Intrenet and hand-held devices markets. I have bought some shares of each. I like their mission statements much more than AMZN or YHOO, the former a Ponzi-like operation, as far as I can see, and the latter, merely an airport where you go to find your plane, whereas these guys are the jet fuel which makes the planes fly. jhg
