Steve, Not to speak for Earlie, but the GDP numbers are distorted upwards by chained computer sales figures, which account for more than half of their gains and are total fantasies.

Riechers: I trust the U.S. GDP numbers about as much as I trust crocodiles. (not at all) Good comments Steve, and delighted to have your input on the topic, particularly given your vocation. I hear exactly the same kind of comments from many companies. While I think the net is great for info hounds such as myself, it sure as heck hasn't provided any evidence that it is a place where one can make a profit, which has been my contention with the mad net stock valuations for many moons. Best, Earlie
