TomD<I have spent about $300> Your a MD. The 'Things' stock price is about the average person in the world shopping on the Internet. This is a concept that only the yuppies should own.

I have spent about $300 on CD's in the last few months, mostly at AMZN. And you're not alone. I just sent a DVD to a friend who moved back to Germany. Animal House [an important movie, all will agree :-) ] went for $17.49, plus $5.95 for the cheapest shipping. Easy to add the new international shipping address, easy to see shipping costs ($5.95), and it'll be on it's way tomorrow. I think they comped me the standard $7.95 additional per-video charge (more losses on the way for AMZN this Q). But when I checked reel.com after the fact, they charged a bit more for the DVD, and the same for shipping (plus the $7.95 it appeared). I'll stick with Amazon. I'm one example where the ease of internet shopping has me spending a little more on CD's, book, and videos. I still don't spend much, but I'm not alone. Randy
