>>Eric, are you an old-school moneymaker or are >>you a Internet Cowboy? Not sure I fit into either category - although I do make my income off the internet (I do a lot of internet consulting in my business). Regarding the article: I like the "started the business in a garage" theme. Edison started what later became GE in a garage. Wozniak and Jobs started Apple in a garage. Gates and Allen started Microsoft in a garage. And now Bezos started Amazon in a garage. I can't help but think that with the high level of humidity in the Seattle area that the garage is the last place I would put a web server - but maybe Bezos came up with the idea while in the garage, and then moved into the house where he started making phone calls to start raising money. But it makes for a good story. -Eric
