i agree the net is super important. i love it. it is fantastic to individual investors. it is great for discount shopping. the criminal element economy couldn't be more pleased. it is also great for the computer industry and educating people on computers. better than the wheel? imagine life w/o the wheel. just for a moment. no cars. no bikes. no transportation other than hand/animal carry - no carts behind the horses, though. no commuting. no distribution system. no power b/c wheels are used in the generation of power. no power - no computers. no computers, no net. not net, no net. no wheel, no net. the wheel doesn't need the net. no way the net is more important than the wheel. no way - not even close. but, that is exactly the kind of hype that allows an amzn or a yhoo or an aol to trade where they do. the reality is a lot less than the hype. jmho.
