OFF TOPIC: Actually, I have the same concerns as you...and have reduced my position in RNWK accordingly. IMO, AOL has shown an interest in (at least as far as MP3 audio is concerned) competing head on with RNWK. Or at least they are leaving the door open for this possibility. And that's the problem. No one knows where this leaves RNWK. Video-wise, of course, RNWK is fine -- for the time being. Until the coming technological advances bring better alternatives (and they will once some smart engineer learns how to take the coming speed and compression advances and bring digital video into the MP3 age). That being said, Glaser is a very, very smart and savvy businessman...and I'm sure he is presently busy advocating RNWK's strengths to the anti-MSFT powers-that-be. I'm sure he is also ready to gobble up the coming "killer app." Real will do great -- I have no doubt. I just want to see how it plays out a bit before jumping head first back in. FWIW
