<< Even if they are hooked up to a network, and even if the network is hooked up to the Internet, most businesses would frown upon surfing the Web on company time. >> Oh yeah? My buddy works at Intel and he says he gets a YHOO quote for INTC everytime he logs on automatically. It's a YHOO world, deal with it.

William-- You're right. I work with a lot of people who are employed by government contractors, and have government-owned computers. Of course they all have net access (behind a solid firewall!), but all traffic is logged and recorded, and these people can't use their work computers to trade stocks, or search the net for non-work-related information because they'll get caught. Lots of private firms have similar policies and procedures. David

RD & David, Go to ms.com , download Morgan Stanley's Internet Quarterly (it's a free 850kb pdf document), and look at page 13. I recommend this entire report to everyone.
