**Bored with banner ads on Web sites? Comet Systems in New York has come up with
the latest in Web advertising – the morphing cursor. **

Every time your cursor moves over a particular graphic or text phrase, it changes
into an advert or other sales message.

Early adopters include toy manufacturer Mattel who want your cursor to change into
a Barbie doll head, and florists 1-800-FLOWERS who will turn your cursor into a 
tulip. Comet currently charges $1,500 a month for the service. Will they offer reduced
fees to nonprofits willing to try out the programme? If your non-profit experiments
with it, tell UK Fundraising about your experience.
