Tim They had a great quarter but I think it is bigger than that. IMO, the product is just well-suited for its market -- at least that's the reason I bought the stock originally. I tend to buy stock in companies whose products I like, and Netflix has a great system. After watching a movie, we almost always have the next one within the 3rd day -- which is about as often as we'd watch a movie anyway (way more often, really). And you don't have to hassle with going somewhere to trade it in. I also think they're ahead of the game on streaming, although the choices on streaming are limited. Of course, what will bring them down, eventually, is the royalties/content costs. The day they start having problems in that area I'll bail out -- I learned SOMETHING from the XM/SIRI debacle ;)
