Well, I'm just talking off the top of my head, but my interpretation is that "the Web site relies on eToys software purchased at the bankruptcy auction and on KB Toys' existing IT infrastructure" means that it's the software Perrin et al. wrote, running on KB's hardware. I can't imagine that to mean that they rewrote the software. If so, that just validates the decisions the eToys design team made. Even more kudos Perrin! :-) Drew Taylor JA[P|m_p|SQL]H http://www.drewtaylor.com/ Just Another Perl|mod_perl|SQL Hacker mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *** God bless America! *** ICQ: 135298242
