I am in Europe visiting various Jupitermedia offices including our newest in Luxembourg where Comstock Images resides.

Prior to the trip I decided to test two Internet services: Netflix and Real Networks' music download service.

I am impressed! Enrolling in Netflix was a breeze. My Netflix titles arrived in two working days. The return process includes a unique mailing envelope which will alleviate the pain of returning the titles.

I have only the highest praise for the Real Networks music download service. The registration process is very easy. And downloading selections is a delight.

When I travel in Europe I try to stay awake until 3:00 AM (and arise by 7:00 AM) so that I remain on New York time as much as possible thus negating jet lag when returning home. A cheap way to kill those early morning hours is to play around with the Real music service.

Nothing I have written here is news to readers. I have been slow to try these services, but now I am a zealot. And of course all of this means that I am an example of how the Internet is growing business and businesses in many ways and directions.
