I have been supporting Barnes and Noble because of the patent issue with Amazon. But now I read that Amazon is using Linux and saving money compared to Unix and (possibly) MS. And BN is using .NET in its backend for order fulfillment. I hate to support amazon, with the patent issue, but i also hate to support a .net early adopter. Yes, i realize i'm being petty, but this *is* -chat, after all. :-) jm -- My other computer is your windows box.
