hi Jeff, Yeah, Global Crossing Ltd. does own 100% of the mighty "mega-complex-awesome-leading-commerce-service-provider" that is commonly referred to as "Global Centre." It "delivers the only integrated commerce solution designed for scale in the global ``e'conomy" buy "by seamlessly integrating its proprietary infrastructure, applications and intelligence." As you may have heard, "GlobalCenter provides customers the Internet infrastructure necessary to manage online enterprises that are highly available, flexible and scalable." Hey, almost everyone in the free world knows that "GlobalCenter's customers include many of the largest and most densely trafficked sites on the Web, including Yahoo!, The Motley Fool, Ziff Davis, MP3.com, eToys" and a couple of our sites sites that you might have clicked on once or twice. And, while the company has made it clear that "Global Crossing, GlobalCenter's parent company, is building and offering services over the world's first global fiber optic network with 97,200 announced route miles, serving five continents, 24 countries and more than 200 major cities" and that "the Global Crossing Network and its telecommunications and Internet product offerings will be available to over 80% of the world's international communications traffic," there still is at least a thing or two to know about the whole thing. For more information you might go to GlobalCenter at globalcenter.net , Global Crossing at globalcrossing.com or you could even try email or telephone to contact the company. And always remember and don't ever forget that statements made in press releases that state GlobalCenter's or Global Crossing's or management's intentions, beliefs, expectations, predictions and stuff like that for the future gotta be forward-looking statements, 'cause they didn't happen yet. Hey, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause GlobalCenter's or Global Crossing's actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties include: the ability to complete systems within currently estimated time frames and budgets; the ability to compete effectively in a rapidly evolving and price competitive marketplace; changes in the nature of telecommunications regulation in the United States and other countries; changes in business strategy; the successful integration of newly-acquired businesses; the impact of technological change, the whole world blowing up; and other risks referenced from time to time in the Global Crossing's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If that wasn't enough to send you 100% into something like Bonds, maybe you should consider that Securities (that includes GBLX stock) (i) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; (ii) are not deposits or other obligations of any insured depository institution; (iii) are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. (i was going to put a ;-) in this post, but my edit time ran out. Oh, now i remember, you were having trouble with yahoo.com . Well, welcome to the Internet, please take a seat and waite. After we complete all of the 911 calls, we will put you at the end of the cue. Yahoo! (YHOO:Nasdaq - news) remained completely unaffected by the news that its site was down "intermittently" for two hours and gained 3/4 to 355 3/4 on 40,000 shares. After dipping some after the news broke around 3 p.m. EST, Yahoo! recovered and finished the day session up 1 11/16 to 355. biz.yahoo.com
