Gordon, I have not seen a videophone, but have had it explained to me and this is my understanding of it. The video phone will be placed in places such as doctors offices, mortgage companies, banks, ect. Anywhere someone might have to wait for an appointment. PRWT will have contracts with various magazines that will advertise their products online such as Victoria's Secret's ( That one's for you Michael Bendner since your so lonely over there in Germany) While the customer is waiting for their appointment, customers will be able to pass time by shopping online. The video phones will have a card swipe so the customer will be able to charge their purchases to a credit card. This in my opinion is sort of a high tech 90's version of magazines that are currently in the offices now. I believe with the success of The Home Shopping Network, this takes it a step further by eliminating the actual phone call to place the order. Personally, I hate to shop at the malls because of the crowds and I currently do 95% of my shopping by mail order so naturally, I love this idea and I think it is an idea whose time has come. Kristi
