Fred, if you want to see the ridiculous levels to which pundits are going with the internet model, you should read the 2/99 Red Herring, page 140, entitled "Margin of Error", by Alex Gove. I'll give you the teaser headline which says it all: "Internet retailers ponder a world of zero gross margins."

I don't care how low cost your "store front" is, you need margins to stay in business. Unfortunately the article isn't available on line yet or I'd give you the url. It's a must read, if only for the idiotic extreme some folks are willing to allow their simplistic thinking to carry them.
