Thomas,

We all tend to see the world from our own eyes. I am from your parents generation and most of my friends have no idea what a computer is all about no less the Internet. The last three Saturday evenings I had different friends over and when the discussion turned to recently read books I mentioned that the ones they were looking for might be "online". After a few moments on line, I purchased three different books for three different friends and all reported that on the following Monday or Tuesday the books were at their doorsteps. They were all satisfied with the transaction and are looking into the "technology". I don't profess to know what that means to the future of retail book sales or any other sales for that matter. I do know that it means something.

Ed...
P.S. I'm long BGP
