What are your views on Amzn? I was a little surprised this one did not make your cut. Looks tome like a natural, valuation of over $1 billion, never has turned a profit (and unlikely to do so soon), still under the momentum players influence, stiff competitors coming out everyday, and perhaps more importantly there seems to be a cult following ala Zitl that believes this stock can only go up. Am I missing something?

Roger, The model you describe is the most efficient, fast, secure, and manpower saving means of distributing enterprise-wide data. I agree this is how information will be moved in the future, for the reasons you mentioned. The server is complex, but the tradeoff is avoiding a mixed bag of confusion in multiple client configurations. It really sounds a lot like big iron all over again, just based on microprocessor CPU's instead. I'll be joining you in this one, I just need to look at the timing of events. Thank you! Regards, JB
