...know the Internet is cool, fun and convenient--and fast becoming indispensable. What we don't know is whether Internet companies are worth the stratospheric prices they command in the stock market. That's the big risk you take in owning high flyers such as eBay and iVillage. Sure, they keep going up. But with little or no earnings, it's tough to gauge their ultimate value--and, possibly, not since William Henry Seward paid the Russians 2[cents] an acre for Alaska has a population (Internet junkies, in this case) been so thoroughly taken to the cleaners...

What's surprising is just how fast the suits are coming: at least 78 so far, as many as 800 legal disputes proceeding to formal negotiations, and a few large settlements, including one for $7.5 million. If lawyers are this active now, how bad will it get when the year 2000 actually arrives? Lloyds of London insurance has predicted...
