INCREDIBLE!! Amazon has their stuff down pat. Would that others, like
Microsoft, I'm thinking especially of their latest and greatest. Does all
sorts of stuff people don't want; forced updates that people don't want.
Lots of stuff people don't wan't and can't stop All the characteristics of
a virus.

Microsoft says, screw them they'll do as we say because we know better.

Depends on what their actual cost for Sunday delivery is. It's the
USPS and Amazon probably has a good deal that doesn't cost them very
much extra. And it's a great feature that many customers probably appreciate
and it wins them business. It impressed DaddiOH. I would certainly
appreciate it if it was something I needed quickly and it would make
