>>That is not correct. Aol is #1, Yahoo #2. ...at what? The two busiest e-commerce sites on the web are Blue Mountain Arts, followed by Amazon. >>When is the last time you bought anything on the internet? I've spent thousands on the Internet this year. Books from Amazon, a desktop computer from Dell, software and a new video card from Insight, etc. I don't buy stocks on the Internet, but many do.

I respectfully disagree, H.J. I think its most likely that the internet will be as ubiquitous as television. Its adoption has been faster, so far. You raise an interesting point--that maybe it will just be a toy for the elite. Here is a link suggesting that everybody in the U.S. will have email addresses soon. Think of the savings if much of the snail mail we presently receive was delivered electronically. cnn.com I think everybody (with rare exceptions) who has telephones will have email in a few years. Why do you think that it is only the elitists who would want to save 10 or 15% by buying electronically? Best Regards, Tom
