Morning All: Am up early - as I have not even started the Christmas shopping - my wife says that I must have a death wish !!!!! Larry or Darkgreen . Re Sony there is no problem with them owning the network - they cannot own tv stations. I have toagree that AOL is a stretch from where I stand - but by the same token TVand the internet are converging it is only a matter of when! And when CBS is gone - there is no other network available. Anyway that is another conversation. Now it is off the the Malls. HO HO HO!!!!! John

Lebo, Patrice, John, Larry, DG. et. al. buddies here: some thoughts, imho (no effort spent on constructing the complete English sentences here :-) ): - for the last 30 or so years, the CBS Eye symbol - the icon - has become an extremely familiar and beloved symbol in every US household - CBS Marketwatch with the EYE logo - the prowess and smoothness of the server there , is/has just about to become a proxy for quality market news with all the best bells and whistles in the industry, from one of the most reliable news company out there, that is known to almost every American and world over - AOL's recent acquisition of Netscape ==> diverging from MSFT ==> trying to also solo-challenge-MSNBC in the process?? (convergence of Internet/Media) ==> getting fonder of the other, only left game in the town ===> CBS ?? - CBS - Eye on America - America Marketwatch - Visible Info Delivery Medium - AOL - America OnLine ==> America's Eyes are All-on-US now , makes sense ?? (actually, the neurons had started firing in this direction already, the moment AOL went to bed with NSCP). - A beautiful picture may be emerging friends; this is just the beginning! All imho. Any comments welcome. regards to all, -/Sonny.
