   Low resource and very practical/useful little program

2. Comment - AOL, Time Warner Agree To $350 Billion Merger

   2.05.9 (Jan 11, 2000 - 2:20 AM)

   Stronger companies do not encourage competition. A stronger company is a sugar-coated term for a bigger company, which requires a larger executive bureaucracy to maintain day-to-day business operations. This larger bureaucracy will also raise the cost of business, which will be passed on to the consumer in some way or another. In the near future all you AOLers might escape another rate increase but I wouldn't be surprised to find AOL "encouraging" it's subscribers to fill out one of those lovely surveys every month. They are going to have to make up the cost somewhere!
   Also, this merger will probably end up enabling AOL to achieve a larger market share as they acquire additional capital. This will be a detriment to competition and thus innovation, another loss to the consumer.

3. Comment - More Delays for Netscape 5.0

   2.05.9 (Dec 5, 1999 - 8:52 PM)

   Speed is irrelevant? That's some news to me! I think most reasonable people would choose a faster browser over a slower one all things being equal. Speed and reliability are my two most important factors in choosing IE over Netscape. Most people agree, which is why there have been so many die hard Netscape fans converting to IE users. Also, "Who cares if IE5 loads your porn jpegs 30 seconds faster than NN4..1.2.3.4.5", I SURE AS HELL CARE! :-)
