Gary: AMZM has the structural integrity of a paper bag. I normally avoid trying to make money on the downside -- this might be too tempting to resist :)

From the amended filing: " Effective April 1, 2000, the Company changed its policy for determining which investments are treated as cash equivalents. Effective April 1, 2000, the Company now classifies all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Prior to April 1, 2000, such investments were included in marketable securities. The Company believes this change is preferable because it results in a presentation that is consistent with practice in the Company's industry and because it results in a better reflection of the Company's liquidity. The consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-K/A have been restated to reflect this change."
