>>William did not challenge me. Yes I did (and yes I have). You were getting carried away with your post. BTW, have I recently told you that I think Amazon will be profitable from operations (perhaps as early as calandar 4Q99), and will remain a tip-tier player in e-commerce? :) William, I am not carried away a bit. Could you please explain how AMZn can be profitable if fulfillment exceeds gross margins? Glenn

<< BTW, have I recently told you that I think Amazon will be profitable from operations (perhaps as early as calandar 4Q99), and will remain a tip-tier player in e-commerce? :)>> William, when the power goes out on 12/31/99, if not sooner, where will this leave amzn? (not to mention just about any other co.) When the spot and rolling blackouts hit, I don't think too many folks will be thinking about ordering books over an internet that will not be functioning. This is not negotiable; it is going to occur. I work in the elec utility industry, and the emphasis now is on cya, not preventing the problem, because it is just too late. Victor
