Dana, Thank you very much for the sample. I made a couple of pots for the nurses at work and they liked it. They wanted to know where they could purchase more. I told them. Bob BTW:I even got a couple of kisses out of it. I guess its true what they say about Italians. ;)

Mr. Verrill, I did a little test: I did a search for coffee AND Massimo on HotBot and Alta Vista. Ichargeit didn't come up, nor did buymdmi. HotBot came up with www.java-centrale at the top of the list. Clicking on it got me a "can't locate the server" message. There was NO pointer, NO link to Ichargeit or buymdmi, NO message about the Java-Centrale URL being replaced by a new, updated site. Just a dead link. Bad news. Alta Vista also came up with only Java-Centrale, buried deep in the list. I then went to the Ichargeit site. Scrolling down, I saw, in small type, "coffees" on the Ichargeit main page. The panel on the left side lists Java-Centrale but does not mention coffee. The Java-Centrale logo does not indicate in any way that this is an on-line coffee vendor. It just says OTC:BB MDMI. Does that make sense? You are trying to attract coffee buyers at this location, not investors. Near the top of the HTML code there is a list of keywords. These are words that a search engine uses to find its targets. Go to Ichargeit.com and, if you're using Netscape, click on view, page source or hit Ctrl-U. You'll see that THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF COFFEE OR ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY COFFEE RELATED in the keywords line for a search engine to latch on to. No wonder nothing turned up on the search. This is not the first time I've brought this up. Nothing's been done about it and now the Java-Centrale site is closed. What makes this even sadder is that there are nearly two hundred on-line coffee vendors on the internet. And Massimo's or Java Centrale, to someone who doesn't know better, doesn't even exist. Mr. Verrill, is this how you intend to sell your coffee over the Internet? ________________________________________ Marc Stager
