Here's more fuel for the IATV fire: From another investor: <<<Just received my May issue of WORTH magazine in the mail. On page 32, there is an article about Barry Diller titled, "The Vision Thing." Paragraph 4: But while Disney hopes to sell advertising in a medium where there's not enough to go around, Diller figures the next generation of digital set-top boxes in the works at Scientific-Atlanta and General Instruments will give him an Internet mini-mall with estimated real revenue of $1.5 billion.>>>>

SW- on IATV - the most exciting thing is that it's only just begun. People still don't realize the true potential. Every home with cable will eventually have a digital box and the ones without cable will still be able to enjoy all the features since the software is downloadable with a system such as DirectTV. Imagine 500 channels all digital with the ability to access the web at the click of the remote. Don't want to watch another re-run of Sienfeld? Click - go to the auction channel and browse around. See that Rolex you like? Click - you just made a bid. Now a Toyota commercial comes on about the Corolla but you have your eye on the new FourRunner. Click - you changed commercials. Now switch over to the Horseracing Channel and watch a few races and make a few bets with the click of a switch. Oh, there's a baseball game on. Click - check out Catcher Cam. How about Star Cam to keep track of MacGuire. Pull up his stats from the internet with another click. Man, this is going to be fun. And I've just scratched the surface of all the possibilities. We'll fondly remember when this stock was 10 a share and just laugh - all the way to the bank.
