Are you saying Amazon is a CMGI in disguise? and that's not all... Amazon.com invested $5 million for a 7 per cent stake last February (paying a $1 million premium over the market price), although it was believed at the time that Amazon's real purpose was to get access to 19 software types employed by Geoworks. theregister.co.uk GEOWORKS CORP (NasdaqNM:GWRX) Last Trade Jan 21 · 39 3/4 Change +10 5/8 (+36.48%) Prev Cls 29 1/8 Volume 11,814,700 Div Date N/A Day's Range 29 1/8 - 44 Bid 39 11/16 Ask 39 3/4 Open 29 1/4 Avg Vol 1,496,272 Ex-Div N/A 52-week Range 1 15/16 - 36 1/4 Mkt Cap 704.4M A ten bagger for Bezo

>BEZOS is not a fool. He will steer AMZN to the promised land. Wow!! That's a mouthful. At what price do you see Amzn being a buying opportunity?

<<....Investors led by Amazon.com are pumping $100 million of venture capital into Kozmo.com, a fast-growing, closely held company that delivers movies, snacks and other items purchased over the Internet. >> This is really pitiful. If I hire some teenagers part time and I open a house-cleaning and snow shoveling service, can I call it an e-commerce co just because people order it up on the internet? Maybe I could get $ 100 million in venture capital too! Why, we could even cut their grass for them. Do you think we could get another $50 mill in vc for that? After all, we would need more powerful servers , and lawn mowers, of course! (but we wouldn't need little bicycles like Kozmo) Re pet stores, that is one of the most crowded spaces right now on the the retail internet front. I've got to bei;ieve that the b&m pet sttores will always matin their web stites, no matter waht, just to maintain another level of exposure to their customers- they don't really need to make much $$ from it. But many of the pure internet pet stores will be gone soon imo. Maybe that will help pets.com & AMZN. Victor
