Glenn, I'm confused. I thought the former Wal-Mart, Dalzell was in charge of Amzn's technology. Btw I estimate Dalzell has now sucked out over $300 million! For a former Wal-Mart IT guy, that sure was one hell of a career change! Dalzell I believe is in charge of the techology for distribution. That was why I believe he was borrowed from Wal-Mart. I am going to go have dinner with my son and sort this out later. I find the recent resignation as very interesting since working capital is almost zero now even though Amazon has never been in a stronger position????

Glenn, I'm confused. I thought the former Wal-Mart, Dalzell was in charge of Amzn's technology. James, I read that wrong during work the first time. That is what happens when one works<G> This guy apparently was the buyer for consumer electronics rather than being a technology guru at all. The last I noticed was Amazon's inventory on consumer electronics was really small compared to last fall. I know Bezos states that Amazon has never been on better terms with their vendors but I am wondering if consumer electronics being provided on credit is becoming a problem. That would be a reason to resign from a position that makes you the buyer.
