ING Barings(Rob Kaimowitz) came out with this this morning--AOL now going to be available via set top box via GMH DirecTV--4.7 million subs: "· Interactive Product #1: Set-Top-Internet-Box; A National Branded Partnership (like AOL) Seems Likely. The most important of the three new interactive products, in our view, is the advanced multi-media set-top box. This product will include a full-blown Internet browser and will combine the full functionality of the Internet, bandwidth off the satellite combined with accelerated graphics and unique content stored on a high capacity hard drive. We expect the product to be formally introduced within the next 8 weeks. · We strongly believe that DirecTV's national footprint and large subscriber base combined with the technical advantages of a digital satellite system should lead to a meaningful partnership with a nationally branded content provider the likes of an America Online."

OT OT You know, I love all types of music and am a musician myself. Play stringed instruments, started with guitar, then dobro, banjo, stand up bass. Not equally competent in all of these, but its fun for me... My latest kick is anything Sly Stone released, especially the early stuff. Can't get enough of that. Have you heard 'the masters' by him released in '98?

OT OT A record store as in vinyl with cardboard covers?? I have a large collection of 50's, 60's rock originals. My kid often borrows Jim Morrison, Beatles, Beachboys, Stones from me - says they sound much better than the CDs. JAZZ
