Harry, I didn't know the AOL audio CD connection was so small, though I did think it was clever. I did notice the Gateway ISP story. I don't follow Gateway very closely, though I notice they've been having rough going this quarter. Why would they do this? If they think they'll sell more boxes by bundling the internet with the box, why not just stay with AOL or any ISP? Why start you own, especially at a time when there's a shakeout going on in the ISP business? They're not in that business and it will probably just cost them money. The same idea cost MicroSoft a couple of bucks. Either I'm missing something or they are. Nor can I imagine that Gateway's ISP would hurt AOL much. Best, Steve
