The great thing about web sites is you can reduce the number of technical 

support staff you need (they can get all of the info they need from the web 

site itself) and reduce the number of sales staff (the web site does the 

selling job for you, y'see) thus making a huge cost saving.


<cough>


Anyway, a six-fold increase on what, I wonder?


Sorry, starting to get a bit sarcastic - must be a result of reading too many 

of Danny's musings in NTK :o)
