I'll give you an even better example: Dell. They make money by exploited the difference between when you pay them for a computer and when they have to pay their suppliers. That inbetween time gives them free money to invest. Now using your logic we could say that Dell only makes money by NOT paying his suppliers. Of course that's not true. But he can also jack up his profit if he can convince you to pay more and his suppliers to charge less. That way he gets larger margin as the middle man plus the free money investment time. But even if that margin is zero - OR BELOW ZERO - he still makes money. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:288718 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
