YES!

Obviously. They may or may not have websites, they may or may not have

call-centres, but they WILL be e-businesses. Mark my words. It's the future

we are talking about, not this week.

Again, this is obvious. But who said that creating an e-business involved

shutting yourself up behind a concrete wall and never meeting people face to

face? Not me.

Just like people are resistant to using mobile phones. But has anyone

noticed how that resistance is starting to break down now that idiot John

Major has gone back to playing cricket? Once people catch on, the resistance

to the electronification of business will start to be the exception, not the

rule.
