<< I care about banner ads! >>

I am saying that they are rather boring right now. In the future they will be more effective.

Furthermore there is more than one way to skin a cat. Just wait until you start to download movies through the net rather than going to the video store. Just wait until you start ordering food through the net. Music, porn, you name it. All YHOO needs to do is get a little piece of the action. You can bet that there will be sites that won't want to exist in the obscurity of some search engine. They will want top billing, and YHOO has the viewers to make that happen.

The only reason people hate banner ads now is because they take a while to load so they slow everything down. This will be remedied in the not so distant future.
