John, >It seems to me that AOL just guaranteed that the Time/Warner channels are all locked up >>Isn't this the kind of "abuse" that MSFT was dragged into court about?" The media market may be too big for anyone to dominate but it is possible for the same abuse to take place in which case I would hope they were investigated also. Like I stated earlier, there will be a mad rush for all the big Internet players to align with the old-guard media empires. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether Yahoo! or Excite! offers the Gilligan's Island reruns. So far the DOJ case does not seem to have slowed Microsoft down much as a long-term investment. The only people who need complain are the options crowd; experienced day-traders probably making out like bandits since the case started. I'm not selling any stock funds for at least 20 years so what happens short-term is mostly irrelevant to this investor. Cheers, Norm
