Ed--OT again re: catalogues
In respnse to your response to Mike
The difference between a catalogue and the internet is agency -- what makes man man, the ability to fashion a tool and use it. Catalogues are passive. They come in the mail at an allotted time, and you look through the pages in the order in which they are stapled/bound, and you get what you get.

The internet allows you to actively look for what you want. To search. To move laterally among different "catalogues" all at the same moment.

There is a lot of similarity, but a significant psychological difference, and it's more than presentation. What is the difference between video stores and cable/t.v. movies? You have the choice/freedom to act upon your environment. In time, as people get more internet-savvy, that difference can be meaningful.

Again, morning thots...don't know why I'm so philosophical...I agree the business to business is huge, and appreciated the postings here this a.m.
