Sonki, I am not sure if you watched C-Span this morning where Ira Magaziner, Senior Tech. Advisor to President was on. It was a call in program and he fielded a lot of questions on the E-commerce/Internet etc. Yes, the White House realizes the potential of e-commerce, and the folks there are already working on privacy issues where cookies scan a users hard drive without explicit permission, the tax issues related to access to networks, the security issues/encryption associated with user transmitting credit card details via the Internet etc. But the fact of the matter is that Internet is playing an increasing role in our lives. That bodes well not only for Internet stocks like AOL, CDNOW etc. but also for stocks like ASND, CSCO, 3COM, Internet Service Providers etc. etc. Chinmoy
