The Internet has revolutionized my way of life.

Ok, more clear on your views now than before. The short version of what you said (ealier post) was difficult to understand.

On the railroad mania in England, the GDP devoted to further buildout, at the moment of financial truth, was about 100%. The mania eventually spread globally but spotily.

On the Internet, this mania is big, however one measures it, and its splash damage greater, certainly to involve a greater % of the population.

On the benefit side, the two techs are more difficult to compare.

Elizabeth - it is not an issue of value, let me ask you this, how much do you spend per year on Internet usage?

There is your connection - and unless you have a need for speed, this is free via Netzero and others - FREE
There is this chat board - FREE
There is Yahoo Finance to watch my stocks - FREE
There are Travel Sites - FREE
There is all sorts of neat content - FREE

So lets see - all these companies are making 0 on my internet usage, well I can see these stocks will be worth a bundle with all that advertising revenue and ramping profits.

I rest my case on this issue, next question?
