It was Joe Kernan on CNBC that stated that EGGS CEO filed to sell 200,000 shares. And he stated this after the bell Friday. Maybe Joe K is wrong? Let's talk America Online. I'm sure the majority of you are not using AOL for internet access. I do, because, most of my friends are new to the internet experience and its just more convienent to chat via AOL than explaining what ICQ is. Anyway, AOL has 14 million customers. And if any one of these people are looking to buy a computer, printer, monitor or whatever computer device... they type in keyword: COMPUTER or keyord: SHOPPING (isn't AOL so simple?) Guess who AOL directlinks each time a person wishes to buy a computer, printer, hard drive, monitor, etc..? Cyberian Outpost (COOL) It used to be AOL sent all orders to NECX direct not so long ago. (another internet computer product provider) But not any more. Now, It's all COOL. (and not EGGS) I'm not sure when that total change to COOL occurred, but it must be somewhat recent since I recently ordered from NECX over the summer via AOL's link. And that really is significant since most of AOL clientelle are new to the internet..and they will probably trust who AOL links them to. Cyberian Outpost should profit very well from this arrangement. Just a side note, since you keep talking egghead and software. If you go to keyword SOFTWARE on AOL, they send you to beyond.com I don't believe they are a public traded company. But what I DO know, is they aren't EGGS. 14 mil internet users through AOL -not one of them gets sent to EGGHEAD.com when they want software (beyond.com) or hardware (outpost.com) And finally, glad you mentioned vcall.com Listen to NM's CEO and COOL's CEO..feel free to compare. I certainly will. -DavidCG
