thanks...
                  The times, 
                    they are a ' changin' (to borrow a saying)
                   We remain 
                    thankful that we our client base is traditional "brick 
                    and mortar" businesses with the same conservative viewpoints 
                    as we have. No unrealistic expectations, you have to earn 
                    your revenues, and other criteria that was considered "trite" 
                    just a few months ago.                   We thank 
                    those clients who made possible the single fastest jump start 
                    to a year in the company's twenty-four year history. It is 
                    interesting to note that the vast bulk of work we are engaged 
                    to perform remains Internet-related, with just a few print 
                    projects. And the size of the web projects continues to grow, 
                    with nearly all involved in some form of interactive database 
                    specifications. 
                     
                                        search 
                    engine update
                  With the 
                    announcement by Disney that their Infoseek/ Go Network search 
                    engine will be closed shortly for good, the major search engines 
                    have migrated en masse to evaluating mandatory charges for 
                    corporate clients to be posted to their engine.                   The last 
                    bastion of a "free lunch" in America seems to be 
                    disappearing. Yahoo!, the first to implement the '$199 7- 
                    Day Review of Site' Programs, has officially moved to a mandatory 
                    $199 corporate submission pricing policy. AltaVista has also 
                    changed, offering a $199 '7-day check' policy and no longer 
                    supporting automated submissions.                   We'll 
                    keep you posted on the evolution as it transpires
