Hi R.D.Buschman; Regarding all that commercial real-estate in shopping malls and the like. The quantity of commercial shopping real estate per capita has zoomed in this country over the last 4 decades or so. It is just amazing. I thought it would be all dead by now 10 years ago when I took a retailing class, but it hangs on. Sure e-commerce is going to take some sales away, but there will always be some stick in the mud types that just won't sign on to the new paradigm. One of my buddies is setting up a hair cutting salon in a local mall. I tried to get him to set it up over the net, but he is just too old fashioned to consider selling over the net. It seems to me you could deliver a virtual hair cut for much cheaper than otherwise. -- Carl
