It's easy to switch from yahoo! much easier than from AOL as an ISP! Here is what I did last weekend because, 1. wanted to find best new home page since my.yahoo.com is SO SLOW, 2. wanted to find the best short among YHOO, XCIT, LCOS, and SEEK. What I found (and this is purely based on my own peculiarities), is that my.excite.com had the best front page and personalized financial information (stock portfolio and news lists). Period. It also had very fast page loads compared to my.yahoo.com (I timed them a few times back-to-back.) infoseek, BTW, had the far worst front page of the bunch for their search engine, and was practically useless as a stock tracker for trading! So I switched my home location to my.excite.com and sent them an e-mail asking them to please try and fix their site so it gives me the Kauai TV listings instead of the Oahu listings, and if they could please add the Kauai tides and movie theatres as well (not too many people here fly to Honolulu to go to the movies). The phases of the moon and sunrise/sunset were OK. <GGG>. Told excite that Yahoo's TV listings had it better, and showed the right company, Kauai Cablevision, while excite had it wrong. Boy oh boy will i love excite if they fix this, but even without it, they beat out yahoo with better financial information and a better stock-graphing capability. I advise everyone here to go over and try it out: just go to excite.com, and click on the personalize option. Well, anyway, I decided to wait till YHOO stops going up and them short it more (adding to the shares I already shorted @ 73). SEEK too. When that tops out, I'm going to short that one too. Rumours shrumours for SEEK. Cheers, David
