National Post clip from Diane Francis yesterday: The internet is nothing more than a gigantic, global catalogue, growing expontentially, where goods and services can be purchased by anyone, anywhere, at the cheapest possible prices. In fact, you can order from a company called Buy.com, which sells you products below cost and makes a profit by selling on-screen advertisements. Only 2% of all advertising bought is for use by the Internet, but this will also change. That's why every Canadian-whether employed or in business or investing - has got to get on the Internet bandwagon. It's the biggest game in town, which is why Internet stock prices have soared into the stratosphere.

The same National Post report: In 1988, the PC market worldwide was $35 billion. Today it's $2-trillion. It's gone up 50 times in 10 years. Microsoft stock has gone up 1000 times in 11 years. The Internet business today is $200 billion and it's too small. It will grow incredibly. The United States is leading the world in the use of Internet. This is because 48% of the US households have a computer, telephone costs are the lowest in the world, and Americans are used to buying remotely out of catalogues. The exact same conditions exist in Canada and yet Canadian business are behind the eight ball.
