Hey Skeeter, do Harmond and Fowler still think that the VC's are lining up to fund e-commerce on cell phones??? LOL! A few mos ago, these savvy dudes were flatly convinced that "m-commerce" would actually become more than a silly phrase!! They were fooled by their brokers into thinking it was feasible. And i wasted my valuable time trying to show them with data how there was no consumer demand for e-commerce over slow wireless, how ecommerce using land-based fast internet was already a complete failure (amzn), and that e-commerce over slow wireless costs over $3/minute, and who was going to pay for it????? Well the geniuses are still over there, they still don't get it, and they well not admit their folly. But, as HJ would say, "the archives" show it !! Victor
