<< Yes, & who does not have a deal with eToys????? >> I agree...eToys would be a great client....Yet, read the new issue of Fortune (June 7, 1999) --it just arrived at my office today. On pages 201-202 Stuart Alsop writes an article called "Contemplating eBay's Funeral." Now eBay is a good company and I made some money trading the stock a while ago in my online IRA. Yet, the author talks about the intense competition in the auction field and states that "eBay's site isn't personalized and doesn't remember anything about you..." Hmmm...wouldn't they want to go with the leading solution? IMO, a deal with eBay would be HUGE for us. I also think that there may be a possibility of some type of deal with a MEGA portal -- like an AOL, YHOO, ATHM/XCIT etc.....they all have too many content and service offerings and could afford to personalize more effectively IMO. Maybe I'm just dreaming but NETP is a pioneer and has the leading technology in its field. It should only increase in importance going forward. One of these days we could shift into gear and really take off. I'm on board the train in a BIG way and I'll enjoy the ride. With NETP patience could pay off. Best Regards, Scott
