Thanks, I listen to that station when I'm in the car. On the internet purchasing end, the discussion that just went around with regard to doing business over the internet, I heard a news piece that said "business-to-business" transactions on the webs are growing exponentially. A situation where a plane knocked out of commission recently, for example, resulted in technicians checking a Boeing site for part numbers and ordered everything they needed within 2 hours. The advantage was being able to visualize the parts and key on the part numbers rather than deal with someone on the phone, faxing stuff back and forth. Also, I recieved a couple of boxes of cigars in just 2 days after ordering early this week. That's faster than I get them from a distributer friend who drops them off for me.
