You are wrong. EVERYTHING was going to be powered by nuclear energy- we were going to have nuclear cars for goodness sake. You obviously do NOT remember Your Friend the Atom. As for biotech, a cure for cancer beats shopping for books on line ANY day. The biotech boom made as much sense as this boom- crazes are united by the fact that almost everyone believes they are going to last, or last a lot longer than they do. But the problem is valuation, business models, and the music of chance. Edit- I checked your profile. You are too young to remember.

<<When Joe Sixpack looks for books, he'll find it much easier to type in www.amazon.com than www.barnesandnoble.com (or whatever they have set up). >> If Joe Sixpack knows how to look for cheap books on net instead of going to the stores then he knows how to type, to bookmark and to shop for the lowest price. (Amzn is not the lowest most of the time)

<<When Joe Sixpack looks for books, he'll find it much easier to type in www.amazon.com than www.barnesandnoble.com (or whatever they have set up). >> Joe Sixpack doesn't read. Amazon will NEVER penetrate the mass market as a bookseller. And everyone and his dog is already peddling CD's and tshirts online. And should J.Sixpack want a book, chances are he wants the latest Grisham, King or Clancy, not Epictetus or Aristotle. He or Mrs. Sixpack can pick it up at Wal-mart @ 25% off list, save the shipping and have it in 30 minutes, ready to gather dust 'cuz he just can't get around to reading it.
