William, is there no limit to what people will try to sell over the Internet? Take-out food? Wouldn't it be easier to grab the remote phone, walk over to the fridge, find the right magnet, pull a coupon out of the drawer, call and order all in less than a minute? No I'd rather go to the study, turn on the computer, dial MindSpring, get a busy signal, try again, wait, wait some more, open Netscape, click on a bookmark for AOL's Web site, wait some more, click on this take-out service, wait, pick a vendor, wait, fill out some order form, wait some more, confirm the order, wait, wait ... Gee, that took 15 minutes. Bob(not a technophobe, just sick of the hype)
