In 3MR:
We must begrudgingly move the Snap! horse in DeathRace 2000 down from

Portal-Crazed NBC Plans Must-Snap! TV
You lose "Seinfeld" and the NFL, pay "E.R." stars armored trucks of cash,
and feel the slipping of audiences to cable, the Internet, horseshoes tournaments,
and walks in the park. You're NBC and you're feeling desperate. The only
nonsensical sensible thing to do is buy the laggard, bargain-basement,
clearance-sale portal, Snap! Online. CNET chief Halsey Minor could barely
hide his enthusiasm at dumping the service that was burning through CNET
cash like Monopoly money.
