Then we don't know if this e-commerce is all it's cracked up to be. You may be right about AOL, but with regards to e-commerce, if you are talking generalities, I think we can say that it IS all its cracked up to be based on Dells numbers and some of the other early adopters of the online retailing model. Dells online sales have increased 333% from last year, and last year there were many that said 3MM/day had to be an absolute peak. And the only type of e-commerce being deployed en masse today is direct to consumer retail. Inter and Intra business e-commerce is just barely getting off the ground.
