Dave,


Disney might be spending 100 million dollars on the web, but how many other

companies are?

Once you Journey outside companies on the S&P 500 how much cash is really

being spent?  More importantly how much is being spent WELL?  For every

dollar well invested there are probably 100 being wasted by some retarded

middle manager who has no idea what he's really spending his cash on.  This

guy is more interested in NOT looking foolish than building something that

might be called genius.... but has an outside chance of flopping.  I think

that will change in a hurry when people view the web like they view the TV

today.


As for cable modems I can tell you right now I'm getting mine the day they

are released in North Phoenix where I live.  That shouldn't be more than a

couple more months for me.  Unfortunately most people aren't quite as

willing to double or triple their monthly online charges.  I think it was

Jupiter Communications who stated that only 20% of households who use the

Internet will upgrade to some sort of high speed connection by the end of

2002.  Personally, I think that's freaking retarded, but.... crap...... most

people aren't as Internet motivated as we are.  It's going to be many years

before high speed becomes the dominant standard.  I suppose when prices drop

down to $15 to $20 a month for high speed the good Ol X2/56K will die of

natural causes..... and I can't wait!


Sincerely,
