meme, satellite........global star.....was the fore runner in satellite, now bankrupt.....or close....no way they can compete with Cable at this point, just too expensive, look at your off-shore calls via satellite $9.95 minute.....JMO, but DSL don't stand a chance, unless they are in the remote areas where cable hasn't rolled out...

Three hot sectors for the future:

#1 Wireless

#2 Cable

#3 Alternative fuel

Good luck,

RE: a tiny sidenote: DPB5

Dave, it is a drag when you put your money in the wrong company or the wrong technology platform. I'm afraid that you have done both :)

Some future generation of WebTV may conceivably provide a good solution to the 'entertainment appliance' issue but you'll have to buy it all over again anyway. The current implementation is flawed and MSFT won't invest the time or money to properly rectify it - I imagine they'll be focusing all of those resources on the X Box.

Don't feel bad though - not only did I lose an early retirement on SEEK/GO/DIG, but I have a Silicon Graphics Indigo 2 Extreme sitting down in my basement taking up space and gathering dust...
