CB: Web based shopping, which initially caused panic in the ranks of retailers, has now more or less stabilized as a very small fraction of total consumer purchasing. Certainly the experience to date has also been that it isn't easy to make a profit selling on the web unless one is dealing in a very specialized product. While it may be true that half of the population has bought something on the web, I can honestly say that I know very few folk who do so on a regular basis. For most, it is too close to the days of yore and one's purchasing of goods from the Sears catalogue. (g) Best, Earlie
