<< This means that building AltaVista into a major site is very possible if we jump on it >> I think Compaq should startup an auction site similar to onsale.com. This would not only increase the number of visits to AltaVista but generate a lot of revenue from other vendors sales. Compaq's excess and outdated inventory could be used as a base to attract many visitors and other vendors. When I was looking for a low cost CDR drive a few months ago on Onsale I saw so much HP stuff there you'd think they were the company with inventory problems or else a silent partner with Onsale. What does everyone else think of this? Good idea? Robin
