I think Open Market (OMKT) should be on the list too. They are one of the pioneers of e-commerce, and have a growing list of customers. Big telecoms & VISA.

They were just granted patents on very commonly used implementation of
electronic credit card transactions, and use of shopping carts which could prove to be a good source of sustained revenue going forward.
Also expect to see license revenues for their products continue to grow rapidly.

BTW - Thanks for starting this thread and pulling this together. Great
info here on an exciting market!

Any other votes for OMKT?

Pete

>>> let's all go out and buy Intel & MicroSoft

That's exactly the reason I didn't consider such Cos. as Hewlett-Packard. They have a finger in a lot of things; however, it
is such a small part of their business picture you aren't really
playing e-commerce. The success or failure of e-commerce will not
affect their bottom line dramatically for years. I think we should
focus on "pure plays" as much as possible.
