Nice work, Dave! I think your statistics are interesting and seem to correctly
identify some consumer trends. I would expect Shop at Home sales to reflect to
a greater extent those products that aren't as readily available at major local
retailers (Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys-R-Us probably constitute the majority of
sales in the US) - your findings do seem to reflect that. Interesting food for
thought.
