>>What would it take for someone to duplicate AMZN? 2 million dollars and one year's time. Hardly worth the 6 billion in capitalization<< I agree, especially when the competition has $200 mil ready for that effort. In addition, The Wal Mart lawsuit against AMZN could prove to drain a lot of growth energy away from AMZN just to defend it (IMHO); this at a time when AMZN call least afford it. BTY, I believe Wal Mart has deep pockets also. JO

I see the threat in this form: People like AOL because it is a)easy to configure, b) they can get mail anywhere with an aol connection c) they can send mail from anywhere (remember netscape setting are not very portable) Jay, I am not picking on your post. I did want to point out that everyone can obtain and send email from anywhere as long as they have a POP to which they can connect. This would be true of any emailer used. I do it all the time. Glenn
