As I say, my wife went bananas. She's telling every 30-something friend she has. They all react the same way. This I've got to have. On-line grocery, I now believe, will eventually do for home videotex what the spreadsheet first did for office PCs.
Few householders reserve airline seats very often, or yearn to check their stock portfolio daily.
