Forget that Alta Vista settlement and be more aware about ZIPGATE effect on the market. Tomorrow will, I think, a messy day Luc

It was on the local radio news here. Largest price ever paid for an internet address. $3,300,000. Think about it, either they change the site name and start over, or get the direct address so the most people can get there easily. Considering the choices, the price could be cheap. Regards, Ed

So what the WSJ article is saying is that the confusion over Altavista.com and altavista.digital.com is remedied with this 3.x mil payment to this guy, thus giving CPQ more eyeballs funneled to ITS altavista, which is now the only one because of the payment. This will now supposedly bring many more eyeballs to CPQ's own search engine. Am I getting this right, and not missing out on any other positives? Maybe this is the Hpeace suprise?
