But this time it's different! This is the new era! Besides, setting up a website to sell crap is much more expensive and time consuming than building a national railway system or automobile construction plants! ;)

Same thing happened to automobile companies early last century.<<<< ya, despite tuckers innovations (and many others) the big three are all thats left, oops two -g- (in this country) Jack there is no doubt that hundreds of these dot.com companies will be dust when the eventual money faucet dries up, but there will be winners and big winners, but will they be from this crop or the next. Only one computer maker of the 1983 computer mania is still around, apple. Dell, Gateway, and Compaq all came later. although right now amazon, aol, ebay and yahoo seem to be branded names. but eventually the hype will die in these companies, and they will have to deliver realistic shareholder value. b impristine.com
