...also, last time I "stoped by" H&R Block I left there about $150 lighter in the wallet (heavier in the bank :-D)and very satisfied!
I am yet to send Yahoo! a penny.

(I know, I know 200,000,000 pages x 5 cents per ad/view = $10,000,000 in revenues and 100% growth per year + branching into all kinds of other services - It's a cash-cow!!...LOL)

<< Craig, I'd say H&R Block and ADP's services are of known utility, but, according to articles
someone posted links to yesterday, corporate IT managers are having doubts about the
investments they are making in internet capabilities and the efficacy of Web banner ads
remains to be proven, i.e. the utility is unknown. >>

Ahh, but that's why stocks like H&R and ADP go up thousands of percent. Not everyone is a believer at first so people slowly come on board as it becomes apparent. Maybe it didn't look like H&R Block or ADP had a viable business at first either.
