>>Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember that Yahoo runs on AltaVista. Not anymore! I know Yahoo has publicly announced AltaVista and they are splitting. I believe Informix (sp??) is taking AltaVista's place. Yahoo didn't like the fact that AltaVista was starting to compete with them in several key areas. As for AltaVista catching up to Yahoo: Anythings possible, yet that doesn't mean its going to be easy. The same argument for AltaVista could be made for Excite, Lycos, and Infoseek, yet they seem unable as of yet to "catch" Yahoo. Furthermore, Netscape is joing on the bandwagon as will Microsoft later this year. Remember in terms of hits per month, AltaVista is way behind Yahoo as well as Netscape, Infoseek, Lycos, and Excite.
