mike, we agree on aol. james cramer was saying that aol had it great b/c nobody should be able to treat their customers as badly as aol does and get away with it - but aol does. to james, this was positive. to me, this is horrible. everyone who treated their customers badly has eventually lost big time. aol will be no different.

i think cable is the wave of the future. no aol on cable. i think cable puts aol out of business.

good luck.

wonder if any small players will take on the advertisement risk to seriously
compete with amazon.


Michael,

Likely some will but they will fail in short order. There are a lot of people that open retail operations without any sense to the reality of the competition. Look at how many stores open and close in the shopping centers in your area.
