We discussed the Computer Club's decision to purchase web hosting space for MIS majors and those students taking taking MIS courses at Old Westbury.

We're using BridgeComp Solutions for Student  Web Hosting.

Using this hosting company we will be able to give access to CGI scripting and make the use of your WCM much easier and more reliable.

Frank told the class about Starbucks.  Starbucks does not need to sell large amounts of coffee to make a large profit.  Even though their market share is roughly 20% of sales they account for more than 50% of revenue from coffee.

We looked at Dan's website.
