Barrons article excerpt follows. Certainly sounds like a company I'd want to invest in. NOT. ********** With a paper fortune in the billions, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos may not even have a proper profit motive, says Tice. Accumulated losses in Amazon's business increased sevenfold in the 15 months ended in June, reaching $64 million. Investors must have been thrilled, because over the same period, Amazon.com's stock-market capitalization increased tenfold, or $4 billion. Recently, the company announced that it won't make money in '99, either. **********

I just cannot see the states losing that much sales tax without a major fight at some point. Glenn
