Don, Regarding Four11, I doubt Yahoo! acquired the e-mail technology for it's earnings potential. There is only one tiny banner there and as far as I can tell, the banner could be there for free. There doesn't seem to be a big demand for advertising on e-mail pages. I suspect Yahoo! will use the Four11 development team to establish their internet community, whatever that may be. I wouldn't be surprised if Yahoo! came out with some stand alone software, in which a number of services are integrated. I'm anticipating some type of announcement regarding major new products from Yahoo! within a couple of quarters. Can you see revenue potential in the e-mail service? -- I am having difficulty. There must be some other reason. Peter
