[Is IBM's "E-Business" concept a reason for GIFT's recent activity?] I chased this stock when it shot to 2.25. Once is enough. I do not own it. But this info has been circulating: IBM will be putting $100,000,000 into advertisement in the next 12 months (from what I've heard). The focal point of their effort is to make the concept of "E-Business" well known. They are going to provide software solutions for electronic enterprise. You should be hearing their "E-Business" advertisements very soon. I became aware of this shortly after GIFT started rising. I am aware IBM signed the agreement with E-Data, but don't know to what extent this agreement is binding. What I mean to say is IBM wants to provide solutions to a great exploding number of electronic enterprises. The question being: Is the requirement to recognize E-Data included in the software IBM will be producing and selling as a business solution. In other -other words -g- Is anyone aware of the wording in the agreement E-Data has with IBM? If it will extend to "all users" of their software? sorry about that grin, I couldn't help it. Not pushing GIFT. I don't know anything, not even going to invest. Just curious. (And don't get hurt, check first!) Dave
