many are afraid of change or slow to see it; others have a significant investment in the status quo--in short, they are at risk, and therefore slower to embrace the change. However, many of these have great talent and resources--do not count them out. i am reminded of Big Blue before Big Lou, and T before CMA. " freedom's just another word for nothin left to lose". Regards. SW.

* Ali and limtes * While I agree that Internet commerce will take a lot of money out of the pockets of traditional distributors and intermediaries (car dealers, book sellers, brokers), it won't put it in the pockets of electronic merchants, since the margins will be paper thin. The big beneficiary is actally the entire tech sector, since the shift towards electronic commerce ensures a sustained demand year after year for new computers, new software, new networking devices, and increased bandwidth. Lots of people will now be buying new computers every two years who would not have been caught dead behind a computer keyboard a few years ago.
