Marcie, the AltaVista IPO was supposed to happen last year, it's not a rumor. DEC shareholders then were going to be given shares of AltaVista, and we probably all would be quite happy now. I don't remember the date, but it was called off at least a half year ago when DEC decided to keep it under its wing. DEC lost some key executives at the time who were very disappointed ($$$) they wouldn't be spun off.

regards,
Tom
