Thanks Art. Excellent article. Nice to hear some noise on this thread. (I'm not much of a sports fan any longer, but wouldn't mind having a "Shark Cam" or a "Tiger Cam" this weekend.) Along the same lines as the USA article, here is something about internet TV's future:http://www.mediacentral.com/Magazines/MediaDaily/Archive/1998040910.html ACTV would have been a perfect stock for Rip Van Winkle to buy before his nap!

Hi Art ACTV has a interesting educational concept Have you heard any news on how their school-room test site in Phillie is doing ? Seems the educational area is a natural for on-demand TV presentations via a digital processor (NC) or set-top multi-media device . Has ACTV or any similar software system made their offerings available on PowerPC CPUs yet ? Thanks, Jim K.

Art, I hate to be negative, but I do not get a "warm fuzzy" from this article. I believe the sentiments expressed in the majority of this piece go along way toward explaining the current stock price. That said, I disagree with that sentiment. Investors seem to view Interactive TV as a has-been technology even though it never really got out of the box. The percentage of cable subscribers that will have this option (ACTV) available to them in Texas and choose to exercise it will answer this question once and for all. If we could get penatration figures for even a small sampling of paying customers, we would know where this stock is heading. 8% or better of PAYING customers and we have a winner. Scott Heiman
