>>Eric, I drink Red Dog! :-))

Olu - Red Dog? But of course - red is Amazon's favorite financial color. By the way, I found this paragraph from the Forbes article to be very interesting:

"Amazon will handle customer service for thousands of items it has never examined, track hundreds of thousands of shipments it won't control, and guarantee refunds of up to $1,000 for any dissatisfied Amazonites. Yet it also will pay each seller its full share whenever buyers shirk from paying. Bezos is confident the ethics of his Netizens are so high that he won't lose his shirt on these guarantees. Does he fret about tarnishing the Amazon brand with a few flaky merchants? "Absolutely," he allows."

I can't imagine Amazon's refund policy as being as liberal as indicated in the paragraph above - if so, I imagine it will soon change.

Olu, thanks for the Forbes link
<<No, he's not toast, but we do wish he would get around to making a profit. >>
Hey, I've only got 1k long shares left, and I have thought about adding some to my Xmas basket, which I reduced just last week. But in Bezos case I'm thinking do I want to add a stock that even using the most optimistic model, won't return a profit until 2004.
Now on the other hand I'm thinking if the elephants will stay pat as they've done all along, will they continue to stay until 2004? If they do! all of us should be "buying it all day long".<g>
Ps
TMF got Aol? Tmf had no choice. Without Aol there would be no TMF. Would you be unbiased to the one who banked you?
Imhop TMF does a good job for lightweights that need to be hand held like children.I'll admit TMF has been fortunate enough by being an I-net themselves that they got a first jump on the Internet mania. But just before that they were hyping Iomega. So please lets not talk about these clowns anymore and If you must, do it on their Web site. Not this one.
Have you bought any Gardners books lately?:-)
