Trading was really strange during the last hour.
With the market tanking, and then with it surging back, there was almost no movement in GNET.
I was surprised that GNET did not close positive, in tandem with other internets, like AOL.

Also, I lost my internet service during the last hour.
AOL kept crashing, and I couldn't get thru to my broker site (Waterhouse, and I couldn't even get into SIlicon Investor.
Waterhouse charts were down most of the day.

Did many other people experience problems with internet service during the last hour?

Paul Allen mentioned in both of these articles regarding the UMG bidding. Very interesting that he is attempting to put up his money along with msft & aol. This will reflect well on GNET... no?

GOOOO PAUL!!
