I don't know Doug. Since YHOO isn't push yet, I probably hit their pages about 200+ times a day. To check out articles sent to me and get various index quotes that are live, especially when the market is moving fast. Do these count as an individual page view? If so, investors are in for a big surprise since I have only hit one ad banner to date, in several years, to check out what my "rare" car was worth. And that was a free service. Regards, Ice

Doug: You say that HARDLY ANYBODY use the Internet. What EXACTLY do you mean? More than half the people I know (friends, family, business associates) use the Internet on a daily basis. It has grown substantially over the past 3 years. I have seen statistics indicating that 30 to 50 percent of the people in this country use the Internet. Let's say that number is really 20 percent. Well, multiply that by 5 and you have saturation. As for world population: 5 to 6 billion. But how many of these do you expect to have a computer or Internet access in the next twenty years? It seems more sane to look at the business models of companies like Microsoft, Coca Cola, etc. And the general rule is that US sales comprise about 50 percent of worldwide sales. I don't expect the Internet to be any different...
