Mark, I meant that the e-tailers are not really companies that help one use the internet, like the other companies in the internet index:

fast.quote.com

They are not something one goes to every day to either enhance their browsing experience, or navigate the web, or provide content. They sell books and CDs. Just because they solely use the internet as their medium, does not make them "internet companies" in the way that YHOO, LCOS, SEEK, or AOL are really internet companies. I know the e-tailers are in the index, but in my mind, they are not the same as the other companies and will eventually become just another retailer, using the internet instead of mailed catalogs.
