Heh Hey YEAH here goes LCOS and I hold USAI shares!!! YYYYEEESSS!!! If I had LCOS too, Fonley Eyed & Ida's Wish Sandwich'd be unnecessary. If LCOS goes up and USAI lays low then that'll be a mystery to which there is only one solution & It Ain't Right, so what else is new. Blue I sold some gnet yesterday too though I still got plenty left if I never get to buy 'em back we got the gnet split coming up and any merger news would probably never come before that so looks like theres still plenty of time. I think the nets will continue to be stepped on by the pigs who want the shares and it's never cheap enough for them, there's time. But I'm still counting on my latest investment agenda that I told you about yesterday going along as well as planned! And if it doesn't, oh well, still got plenty gnet still got plenty aol especially after the split. The nets still will get a royal smacking and all the dust from that will lay the smokescreen for what is happening and the more that's about to happen (dontcha think Blue?) - hey did I call it good on the networks or what? Now there's CBS, FOX, GE, DIS (and VO who owns Universal and a large part of USAI and VIA and TWX and one or two others) who are getting their internets in gear. What's too bad about it is I see the Beginning Of The End as The Bigs take over The Internet and The Sector but we still got a long ways to go, we're in at the start and on top of it, and nothing lasts forever. Whatever happens with GNET is Bound To Be Good - whether it goes IAP or merges or whatever - bound to be good!! All that's left then is these new penny nets and maybe the whole next thing will still be to corral the independents for awhile until/unless The Bigs find a way to neuter and squash 'em. Sorry I see the pessimistic side here, entrepreneural maverick that I am, but can't help but say it even as it puts money in my pocket. The Wild Wild West Internet will always be available to such as us that wants it, but remember we're the unprofitable unconventional minority. The majority wants to lounge on the couch as it's all done for 'em. (Did I just say something important?...I THINK I DID. Yes, to lay on the couch, touch-tone pre-program it or just choose a channel and interest area from a remote, drink cokes and eat potato chips without worrying about getting a keyboard all messy, press a button to make a purchase). USAI has Ticketmaster and the Home Shopping Channel among others, you know....So Here come the set-top boxes so the Internet's finally Accessible for folks who don't have or wouldn't know how to set it up and operate it on a PC and love to shop shop shop. And The Good news Is...it's only the second inning of the Ballgame! Techriders Hold On To The Bar Please...We're Movin' On Up To The East Side, To That Dee-luxe Apartment In The Sky.... A Fine Day for 909s, Joanie
