GST I think you're going to have to wait until Jan or so to see whether amzn will make it or not, it all depends on the accepatance of their new lines. If I had to guess off the top of my head I would say electronics should do about 10x the book business if it takes off. Toys, I don't know, certainly more than books. And there is less pricing pressure also, since merchandising is key in those areas whereas with books everybody knows whats out there. So the people that said amzn would have to grow 200% over the next 5 years and wondered if it was possible... the answer is no if they only have books, but yes if you include the other biz's ... IF they succeed. Of course we don't know what the acceptance of these things will be. I know I won't be going to toys r us this xmas, I hate toys r us.
