Whether you recently completed a total overhaul of your rental center's Web site or simply added a few new wrinkles, we'd like to know how it went. What prompted the changes? How have customers responded? What would you do differently?

The Web Page staff also enjoys visiting and critiquing rental center's Internet offerings. We've yet to find one site that didn't offer at least one positive attribute that could be adopted and used by others on the Internet. If you'd like your company's site featured in an upcoming installment of The Web Page, let us know.

Let us know via e-mail ([email protected]) or by the ever-so 20th century means of communication called the telephone (800/543-4116, ext. 455).

A Site That Wastes No Energy If your rental center is tackling the messy problem of what to do with used oil, the simple but informative site of the Used Oil Management Association might have the answer. The site promotes the recycling of used crankcase oil, automatic transmission fluid and hydraulic oil via oil-fired heaters.

By eliminating the cost of hauling used fluids to a recycling center and cutting down on purchases of new heating fuel, an oil-fired heater can pay for itself in two years. For more information, visit UOMA's site (www.uoma.com).

Business-to-business online auctions are expected to sell $52.6 billion in goods and services by 2002.
