This is a little off topic, but I just wanted to mention that your experience level is awesome, and I feel the same way.

Thanks, youcan'treadthis!
But when I work with people like firefytr and OBP and jimr and Anne Troy and..., well, I feel pretty humble (not really part of my nature, either!)

I tried the new Yahoo email and went back to the classic view. The feature of being able to chat and do email in one window is cool but VERY slow on my laptop.

Anyone tried the new Internet Explorer yet?

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 for XP Beta 1

Yahoo should sell. The employees should be concerned, because the consolidation will lead to some becoming duplicate personnel and, thereby, expendable. The stock holders should support the sale to cash in today and then purchase equity stakes that they fell have a brighter future than Yahoo. (Or Just buy oil futures and defense stocks.)

Yahoo still gets a ton of page views, it is not the top in search, but it's email customers keep them coming, back. I really am a fan of portions of the Yahoo Offerings, however, the ones that I like the most are probably the ones that bring Yahoo the least revenue - I doubt that I am the only one.

With Google offering FREE POP3 Email, there should be increasing migration off the YAHOO Mail system. However, folks are married to their email accounts and will be slow to give up the virtual address. Microsoft will experience a huge gain in terms of the number of consumers in its network and it will be able to sell broader advertising packages, but until the can become a cult phenom in search (which they can't because the social cards are stacked against them and it is hard for Microsoft to make itself hip anymore) they will continue to lose ground. The only way that they should purchase YAHOO! is if they can buy it cheap. And it seems like they are willing to pay too much.

Does anyone know what Yahoo!'s assets are worth?

Yes. That didn't read too good. 2 restarts for Vista? Good thing it is new and improved.

If we don't want Yahoo to sell to Microsoft, we'll all be whining in the future how much Google controls the internet.
