Just for those of you who are not sure about the technical aspects... \| \| \| Based upon Macromedia's innovative "Flash" technology (NASDAQ:"MACR"), and in conjunction with Electronic Data Systems (NYSE:"EDS"), USABancShares (NASDAQ:"USAB") today announced completion of its proprietary internet banking platform, "USABanc.com". \| \| \| "Flash" requires a plug-in. It means that you won't be able to access their Web site with your standard browser. "Flash" is generally used for animations and multimedia effects. "Flash" was not designed for e-commerce. Web sites using "Flash" are generally slow to download. The positive thing is that "Flash" is flashy. It can catch your eyes as no other technology. None of the major portals currently uses "Flash" because it decreases the size of your possible audience. EDS is well known for their storage management systems. Basically, if they bought their hard disks from EDS, they can say they use EDS' technology. In the end, a hard disk is...a hard disk...not a revolution. If you care about my advice, wait to see their Web site before to bet your house on this one. On-line traders are not that stupid. They won't give their money so easily. __________ Champolion
