darryl, I'm going back to your OP because I just thought of an answer to the "buggy whip" jibe.
Jeff Bezos has a reasonable perspective on the idea that change is the sine qua non of good business strategy:

I very frequently get the question: 'What's going to change in the next 10 years?' . . . I almost never get the question: 'What's not going to change in the next 10 years?' And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two -- because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time.

The only dividends I can find Bezos quoted on are "dividends for our customers." I could be wrong, but my guess is that he'd be dead set against sending checks to a bunch of stockholders.
