         Tsai.                                                                      
         3. Claims 4 and 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)

         view of Mecklermedia.                                                      
         4. Claims 5, 6, 9, 10, 13 and 14 stand rejected under

         Kampe and Nouri.                                                           
         Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                      
         examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the           
         respective details thereof.                                                
         OPINION                                                                    
         We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,                 
         the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of                
         obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the                 
         rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                    
         consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’                   
         arguments set forth in the briefs along with the examiner’s                
         rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal           
         set forth in the examiner’s answer.                                        

                                         3
