An observation. I was astounded when I read the recent news release when K-Mart signed the deal with Digital River. Not because they signed, but because the signed an alliance with a company that had just a few days before made an alliance with their biggest competition (Wal-Mart). It's obvious to me that if their was any other viable ESD company that could give K-Mart the ESD capabilities competitive with Digital River, K-Mart would have signed with them. Competitors usually don't like to be bedfellows. My point. If AMZN, AOL and YHOO are indeed seeking the most viable option to enter the ESD market who else they gonna call, DRIV. The Wal-Mart and K-Mart alliances should further prove that DRIV is the ESD leader and the perfect fit for anyone looking to enter the ESD market. Just an observation. Don

"Oh god, not again one this off-topic posters!" Sure?? As we all know: putting money into internet stocks is "gambling" rather than "investing" ; nothing wrong with that, fellow-DRIVers. But then, why not investing in the gambling industry? Huh??? Casinos? Nah! Gaming equipment? Yep! Consider Anchor Gaming (SLOT): same market-cap as DRIV, the only difference is that SLOT's net-EARNINGS (no, Sir, not interNET earnings, -haha- but net profit, cash) equal the estimated FY'99 REVENUES for DRIV… "Stop this nonsense, NOW; are you a DRIVer, or a SLOTer anyway?" Both.
