A Yahoo post from a working mom/CPA in metro NYC: Quoting: PPOD makes sense to me jprice7948.......... Aug 3 1998 ..........10:59PM EDT I'm a hard-working, time-pressed, mother-of-two and PPOD makes sense to me. I hate going to the grocery store. I figure that whatever extra I pay for delivery is more than saved by freeing up my time and eliminating the kids' impulse buys. Many non- working moms I know use PPOD so they don't have to drag young kids through the store and through the check-out line. Not to mention the growing senior population that may not be up to shopping at the store, or the GenerationXer's that figure PPOD is a natural extension of how they use computers and their time. So, I see an incredible potential market for PPOD. Then, as a practicing CPA, I look at this company's financials and see that they are making progress getting to the breakeven point selling the groceries. And then I factor in the adver- tising potential and marketing research potential and all the other products I'd love to have delivered to my door. I also consider the constraint and discipline the company has seemed to exercise in having the intelligence and courage to trash their initial model and go for the warehouses.....And then I consider the significant amount of cash this company has, and the little amount of debt...I think this company has a great future. To me, this company is thinking with a clear head and an eye for the long-term effect of their decisions and that will translate into pure value in the years ahead. END QUOTE
