Thanks, Glenn. My guess is the on-line market of retail sales will end up being about 4% of the entire retailing market. That 4% will be split between a variety of specialty retailers using dual channel marketing. Amazon will not be part of the equation. This 4% number is interesting. Without knowing enough to give myself much credibility, I would guess that number would be substantially higher. Are you talking US retail sales? And do you know which are the largest two or three categories? I guess grocery store sales would be in there. And what else? I'b be curious to hear results of a survey on current percentages of online retail for many individuals. I'd even be curious about my own %. I suppose a simple browse through my last year of credit card statements would give me a good idea. I think I fall in the 15 - 30% range now, but that could be too high. Randy
