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.

Amazon says, do it better.

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



One wonders about a business model that thinks it's good idea to spend
the extra money to deliver a wall clock to a retail customer the next
day, a Sunday even...


It's a working business model... It beats the "your stuff will get
there sometime next week, maybe, good lord willing and the creek don't
rise and it will only cost you $10.95 for shipping and handling."

I've been a Prime member for a number of years. You don't have to do
much online business with other vendors and their S&H charges until
Prime has paid for itself. Dependable delivery, free Kindle books,
music, and streaming video is just icing on the cake.
