victor, thanks. Re:recommendations in a fraction of a second FYI--Another interesting comment BFRE make on the call was that they are processing 1200/'transactions' a second, which, they pointed out was faster than the NYSE (if I remember correctly). When BFRE migrates vendors to the ASP hosted service(to upsell and crosssell), it will be interesting to see how many 'recommendations' the system will accomodate in a second. So, in any event, it sounds like they are both using some seriously robust, scalable technology on their back end with NETP having the advantage that it can scale to multiple distribution channels. Time will indeed tell us if BFRE can carve out a niche in the e-channel. leeza
