Well, yes, and Amazon.com does 'web business' too (no
storefronts). 

Last I knew Walmarts was selling Lindows computers from it's
website but not in the stores. There are many twists to this
e-commerce thing. My reference was to the majority of customers
requesting websites recently. They feel they need a 'web
presence' to not appear old fashioned but don't really want to
put a great deal of time/effort into doing e-commerce. 

Meijers was doing home delivery of groceries for some time
before I heard about it. They didn't advertise it that I know
of, an employee I became friendly with mentioned it to me. I
think other grocery chains have or have had home delivery but
don't really want to push it? 

As the 'boomers' age home delivery will probably be more common
like ordering medication mail-order etc.
