Sure looks like CF to me. They're still on Cold Fusion. I think they'll
probably leave the toysrus.com site running for a while until they've fully
integrated with Amazon. They even may continue to maintain it.. seeing as
they've got a few dozen servers sitting there, which, if you were wondering,
is how they make it scale. (I just got sent to www65.toysrus.com...)
