Subject: Re: pinhole Amazon.com fulltext search

When I type in:
http://www.amazon.com/

it take me automatically to
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/104-5831921-9038342

You may not be seeing the latest Amazon homepage as your browser may have
cached what you looked at the last time you were there. The news just came
out yesterday. To clear out your cache and reload a brand new page, hold
down the SHIFT key while clicking on the REFRESH button (on the IE toolbar)
or the RELOAD button (on the Netscape toolbar).
