Hello Jim, Let's just look at real world, every day experiences... I bought my wife a new Dorango online from carorder.com last month. I went to web sight, configured the vehicle to our needs, they went looking for it...At the same time I phoned the local dealer. The dealer's ASKING price was approx. $34,000.00, but for the same vehicle carorder.com delivered to me for $31.750.00 INCLUDING tax, license and fees PAID...and it was delivered on a flatbed to my front door with a Full tank of gas. The local dealer wanted to waste my time , hagle over a ridiculous price all the time giving off a smug 'You have to deal with us' attitude!!! Since I got my new cable modem I have been able to increase my personal productivity 3 fold..I can also do some work on the road with my (although be it WAP) cellular phone(GTE, CDMA, QCP 860). I'm able to view accounts and pay bills online, really only needing to contact a person during discrepancies. I can go on and on but you get the point. I don't know, maybe AG should tighten til my eyes buldge out. Yeah that's the ticket! Stop us dead in our tracks, that will teach us! Maybe he can get Congress to mandate that companies not be allowed to set their own prices and while their at it they can roll wages back to the turn of century (1st century) level. I sure wish they talked a little more about WORKER sentiment and not just the buyer. You crush the morale of the worker and all Hell will break loose! Because of these good times I know of some people who just now could afford their first house. Do they even talk about the crime rate..IT'S DOWN across the board, including capital crimes! Maybe we should crush enthusiasm as well, return to the 50's corporate controlled mentality and let only the select few reap(or should I say rape , like DIS's Eisner) the rewards. Yes, Yes, Yes. AG has sent us to our room without desert and now he's coming to whip us for having some prosperity. The problem will be for how long and with what sized belt! Phatbstrd
