Yeah, I took a well needed break for a while, but this is the most exciting time of the year for the markets. Lotsa volatility in Oct, Y2K comin up, etc. I gotta be in on the action. I'm doing fine thanks, I appreciate you asking.

A question:

What's the deal with this zShop thing? Let's say I open a zShop and sell $1000 worth of stuff, using the method where AMZN takes care of the credit. Do I get my money right away? I think this is just another stock propping attempt unless AMZN has figgered out a way to float the money somehow. I am interested in how the money flows from the buyer to AMZN to the merchant..and how long it takes to get there. I haven't seen much spoken about it, so I assume that some funds get transferred automatically and quickly and AMZN stands nothing to gain.

P.S. Don't worry Glen, AOL goes higher next week...
