Aus, you might want to be a bit careful about eyeballing a 25-year-old cutie whose boyfriend winds down by practicing with his semi-automatic rifle. Just a tip. tekboy@thethreadneedsyouwhole,notwith50smallholes.com

Ausdauer, Does aimster give you the ability to pass your mp3's to other AIM users? aimster.com prnewswire.com Revolutionary Napster-Like Application Unveiled; Features File Sharing Integrated with AOL Instant Messaging ALBANY, N.Y., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- In the midst of uncertainty about the future of Napster and its millions of devotees, a new Napster-like Internet application has been developed in Troy, N.Y., and unveiled at the website, Aimster.com. The application, called Aimster, is being hailed by its developers as "the first Napster-like file sharing integrated with AOL Instant Messaging." Johnny Deep, author of several Internet-related books and spokesperson for the developers, said, "Aimster reflects a significant step toward implementing universal file-sharing because for the first time users can search and share files within circles of online friends." Aimster's integration with AOL Instant Messaging allows users to search and share files exclusively with their AOL Instant Messaging "buddies," and thereby enjoy greater privacy and security protections. Unlike Napster, Aimster gives users significantly more control over who can access their shared files and computers, and also lets users share not only music but any personal content. "There is huge market potential for tools that allow people and businesses to easily setup private peer-to-peer networks," said Jeff Nixon of Interactive Capital Partners. "It's the next natural evolution in personal communications after email and instant messaging and it helps further unlock the most powerful part of the network, the knowledge of each person that makes up the network." "Aimster brings together two of the most powerful Internet applications out there today," said Mr. Deep. "The combination of file-sharing and instant messaging allows people to create their own instant private networks." "This application is the future of the Internet. Its users will find it to be fun, easy -- and addictive," he said. Aimster is based on a patent-pending intelligent switching technology developed by a newly formed Troy, N.Y. communications company. Aimster is available for Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and can be freely downloaded from aimster.com. SOURCE Aimster.com Web Site: aimster.com

Ausdauer I am not much into photography but am intrigued by CF and SNDK's opportunities. I have been evaluating SNDK as a potential Gorilla Game investment. Your history of posts have been very helpful. I have a few questions for you and the board-- Is $16.99 for 25 prints from a CF card expensive compared to 25 prints from conventional film? How much of a draw back is this added expense in convincing users to switch to digital photography? Are there any recent stats on marketshare of digital camera memory storage devices? CF vs SmartMedia vs Memory Stick vs disk drive products. Any stats on current camera model memory options that would indicate CF is achieving defacto standard status? Are progressively more manufacturers opting for CF to the exclusion of SmartMedia, Memory Stick and disk drive products? Is the PCMCIA "plug-in" just an option or a potential defacto standard for manufacturers of digital cameras? ( I guess that's enough questions on that topic--whew!) Thanks, Andy
