Hi Ike: Thanks for the Cabot letter. I'm still leary of AMZN more due to the grocery business. In a younger life I was a grocery clerk and delivered. Even with the warehouse concept being developed I can't see where the margins / profits will be in this one. Even if they charge premium $$ @ what % of the population will this be? Since the top 5% in the US pay 50% of the income taxes I would think the grocery delivery target market is much smaller than people think. Just my thoughts on AMZN. (Their computer systems and site are top notch) Maybe ATHM with the cable rollout finally starting to take hold (at least it will make my area in 2 to 3 months, so they say). Tim
