>>Mr. Bezos praised Mr. Galli's commitment to high-quality products at Black & Decker, saying: "He's as obsessed as we are about the customer experience."<< Hah, Bezos may know books but he obviously isn't up to speed on power tools. For several years B&D has been frittering away their brand image by making some of the cheapest junk on the market. CAP LOSS a/k/a Tim the Toolman

This from the Black & Decker Yahoo thread Joe has landed! Now that Joe has a new job, let's predict his next move, using all the ideas he had at B & D. 1) Purchase rights to an old reliable sounding name and change from Amazon.com to... say Kresge.com! 2) Change color of web pages from white to...say yellow! 3) Close down better performing site divisions and put as many people out of work as possible, driving short term stock prices up. 4) Get canned again and collect big severence package!
