Gemstar Inside AOL TV

Remember that Gemstar's guide is inside AOL TV. For a description of AOL TV to debut this summer, click on
news.cnet.com

To pique your interest:

Features include an electronic program guide, similar to the one on DirecTV, that lets users change channels by clicking on words and graphics, rather than scrolling through channels. Blodget said the beta demonstrated last night was "significantly slicker and easier to use" than other electronic programming guides. The guide re-numbers channels in similar groups, such as news and sports, which "makes navigation easier," the report said. It also interacts with VCRs.

Blodget estimated that as many as 30 percent to 50 percent of AOL households will sign up for AOL TV.

It ain't a diamond, but it is more beautiful than a diamond.

I understand what you mean, though. My wife would be very upset if I spent money on a big diamond. She had rather me buy some more Gorillas and Kings, or even snowballs. <g>

OT Moissonite

But as one woman reminded me Moissonite "just ain't a diamond."

That's right: it's rarer than a Diamond! <vbg>

Would that make her feel better?
