    I'd estimate the costs over a three year period are under $1000 
total, mostly for Web hosting and the msboycott.com domain (Yahoo! gave 
me a free one this week to replace msbc.simplenet.com, so now I also have 
ms-bc.com). I've made a bit of it back, but overall still in the hole. It 
still loses less than Amazon.com and CDNow, so I'm happy with it.. All I 
need now is an IPO.
