Almost!!!!

There's actually a number of reasons to dislike Amazon.  I have a real
problem, for example, with their attempt to patent a "one-click shopping"
method of building a shopping cart.  They didn't invent it - websites had
been doing it a long time - but their lawyers decided it was patentable,
so now people using this common sense method run the risk of running
of having lawyers a-plenty come knocking.
