You're excited about sniping software? Did you just discover online
auctions or something? There are books, newsletters, image hosting sites,
specialized search engines, third-party software vendors, etc. But this
has been going on for at least a year or more now.

When the apps come from Microsoft, that's when you know it's hit
"institution" status. BTW, Microsoft recently announced their online
auction add-on product to their web commerce server.
