Amazon.com buys Sears Roebuck! That's what the AOL/WARNER deal makes me think of. Steve Case is really on a head trip, and I would sell every share of AOL I owned, if I hadn't sold it all last year. This company looks like a 70's conglomerate. What does Case think he is doing, setting up a company for the "Nifty Fifty"? Frank, might as well pull AOL off of our G&K list, it no longer concerns us.

Mike...thanks for the response. Bring on the tornado, regardless of what causes it to blow! I couldn't agree more. If the IPG tornado will have to wait on EPG to reach critical mass -- I'm concerned that the EPG might not participate in a tornado at all, but that it will grow in a more controlled fashion as viewers replace their existing TVs and settop boxes with units containing Guide+. Now that the price of televisions that contain IPGs is dropping considerably, there's a good possibility people will buy televisions just to be able to have a guide. Of course, I hadn't considered that an IPG tornado could help cause the EPG tornado. Very interesting... I haven't seen the IPG in action. Is it already available? I thought it was not on the market yet. Thanks. --Rick
