>>William, is there no limit to what people will try to sell over the Internet?
Probably not.
>>Wouldn't it be easier to grab the remote phone, walk over to the fridge, find the right magnet, pull a coupon out of the drawer, call and order all in less than a minute? No I'd rather go to the study, turn on the computer, dial MindSpring, get a busy signal, try again, wait, wait some more, open Netscape, click on a bookmark for AOL's Web site, wait some more, click on this take-out service, wait, pick a vendor, wait, fill out some order form, wait some more, confirm the order, wait, wait ... Gee, that took 15 minutes.
What if you want to browse menus? Plus not long from now the Internet will be always on in your house, just like it is in most offices. On your TV or little remote terminals or whatever.
>>just sick of the hype
$20 million plus a percent of the gross isn't hype. |
