Brother: I am truly stunned by any references to the future of this company that stretch out five or ten years. The real issues are survival during the next year or two -- and the odds look worse all the time to me. As a kid I remember seeing people race snowmobiles across open water by building up a head of speed and using the momo to get them across the open water. That to me is AMZN. Hoping to get on to something solid before they run out of steam and sink. With each passing day as the momo losses steam the odds go up that this baby just sinks into the ice water.

200 billion is more than WalMart sales now! Amazon.com no way IMO in 5 years, maybe 10 or 15 but will not bet on that either!* For, it's better to buy books, videos, electronics, toys, cds, on internet (if I can find them) rather than have to go to Wal Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, Toy's R Us, etc. And for the future, homegroceries maybe become the new trend to buy our daily food rather than have to go to K-Mart, Wal Mart, Giant, Tops, etc. Want to sell our stuffs? May, the auction on internet become our new opportunity. And much...much more on internet. IMO, internet is really big future. DSL or cable modem will bring the world to the new era. One more thing, there should be no time and no distance in internet. Every people in everwhere at anytime can access and make transaction. Welcome to the new world....:) MM
