>> So could someone please explain to me how Amazon manages to lose more than $2 billion in a few years? Glenn, I can't explain any of that. But I want to congratulate you on your success so far with the on-line venture. I guess pretty soon you'll need i2 software to manage your supply chain.

Mistakes they wouldn't make again today. I've had that same experience in business myself. Btw Mistakes are OK if you learn from them...having staying power helps a lot too.
