I still question how much commerce will go on the net. I'm reasonably computer literate, been on the Net for the last year. All I have bought are flowers for my mother in England, twice, and a booked and paid for a bus ticket in England from here in Canada and booked into a campground last summer. That is 4 transactions, I tried a fifth but they never responded so I had to phone them. I have hardly ever looked at any of the Net advertising. The Net is great for reference, travel info but how much money will be made from that.

Hey look at PCG, Pacific Gas & Electric. Just found 500 lbs of explosives out in SF. Somebody on this thread grimly pointed out that a terrorist attack might be a reason.
