The search-engine choices have been there for years, yet Yahoo keeps gaining on the competition. Search function is a small part of Yahoo is about now, anyway.

Hi Peter, Comparing Netscape to Yahoo, trailing 4 quarters: Revenues: NSCP $533,900,000 YHOO $67,400,000 Book Value: NSCP $4.64 YHOO $2.46 EPS Estimates for FY 98: NSCP +.32 YHOO +.37 EPS Estimates for FY 99: NSCP +.51 YHOO +.68 Share Price: NSCP $16.06 YHOO $63.50 Other tech stocks trading in the low 60s: Hewlett Packard, Cisco YHOO is certainly worth as much as HWP and CSCO becaues it might have as much EPS as they do sometime after the turn of the century <G>. I'm getting a kick out of the "little woman" discussion. My guess is that in all the adult sites listed, there isn't a single midget exotic dancer in the bunch. I don't know how many times I've been doing stock research and ended up with half a million sites that don't have anything to do with what I'm looking for. Then when I try to do a more detailed search I get "no matches found". This in my opinion is what will leave the door open for competition for years to come until someone programs the perfect search engine. What would happen if the president of some obscure start up went to Bill Gates tomorrow with a search engine that brought up desired information in the first 5 listings everytime? If an encyclopedia or a library can do it, someone will figure out a way to do it on the internet. Regards, Don
