    OS/computer companies that were either bought out or failed.

    Pets.com was silly -- who's going to buy pet food on the internet? What's the hassle of getting it at the local supermarket? Furniture.com just bit the dust too today. That was silly too. I want to sit in a couch or chair before I buy it. Priceline.com's going to buy the farm soon too I bet. They've already lost groceries, gas, and merchandise.

    YES!!! And now you can get all of your produce shipped straight from where it was grown in Canada, the Phillipines, and Florida... Although you could just go down the street but what would be the fun in that, you wouldn't have to use your credit card, and you'd know exactly what you were getting... I mean jeeze what would be the fun in that huh?
