John,
I may have missed a bit of the discussion and may not be aware of the reasons of
switching to Yahoo, but I'm fully satisfied with
the Avnet system as it runs now and wouldn't see a valid reason to change.
I'm also a member of an other homebuilder group (American Hatz association) and
must say that I greatly prefer the Europa group on
Avnet.
Working for a software group myself (Oracle), I tend to prefer not to change a
well established running system....
