>>Aren't some ecommerce purchases the same purchases that would have been made on the phone, only now people use the net? So aren't some of the ecommerce deliveries cannabalized from the 1-800 catalog channel?<< Victor, funny you mention this, I had a conversation with my boss, who is 62, and he never ever ordered merch from a catalogue but for the past 2 years has gone hog wild on the net. He says the ease of use and PRICE SAVINGS attracted him, the catalogues never really saved you money just time... they were good bathroom reading though. Dave
