Ice, <And I would start to question my beliefs if Business Week told me the world was round. -g-> You have no problem with me on that. I feel the same way about Forrester Research. They call 100 internet yuppies and infer that's what the rest of America is doing. The warning here is, if your betting this 'Thing' up or down, who reads Business Week? This last 6 months they sound like they bought shares in Amazon.com. This issue paints Bezos as some kind of a Captain James T. Kirk. Do you remember how many Trekie followers there used to be?

Ice, <<On one hand they are idiots that have a challenge in tying their shoes - a justification for AOL's subscriber rise - and on the other hand they are computer savvy, propeller heads that, among other things, are so cheap that they scour the planet to save a nickel. >> Who needs shoelaces? AOL had a rise in subscribers because it is easy to use and very portable. And what is wrong with saving a nickel? Although here you better talk to Bezos as he has stated that he does not think Amazon customers find price an issue. 'Earth to Bezos' If he persists in this thinking Amazon will surely die in "internet time...' <<And I would start to question my beliefs if Business Week told me the world was round. -g->> probably a wise move... Good luck and better profits Daniel
