I would completely disagree with your statement that Amazon's internet business model is a failure. On the contrary it is the model to which many companies are trying to emulate for electronic commerce. Much like all computer companies are trying to emulate the DELL (virtually zero-inventory) model...Who wouldn't love to establish the amount of revenue that AMZN has without a single dime spent on brick-and-morter? AMZN is the zero-marginal-cost dream that internet commerce promises. As far as the lawsuit goes, I don't believe it's a technology issue at hand, but more of a marketing/forecasting issue. Once again I tip my hat to Mr Bezos for taking a page from Mr Gate's playbook -- STEAL THE TALENT. In any case -- Though I'm am weary of this hyper-run up of AMZN of late, I have faith that AMZN is very much going to be the DELL of the next 5 years. Best of luck, David Lee
