You must have been thinking of something else for that part.
I recall reading, I believe on this list, that KBToys didn't use the eToys code. That must be what Fulko is recalling, though it isn't "throwing it out for a competing technology." More like a new tech staff sticking with what was familiar. What I really want to know is: what ever happened to that eToys jingle that was on the commercials? It was almost as good as the site. My children were all under 7 when the site folded, so those commercials and that jingle REALLY pulled the heart strings. Take care, Kurt Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
