chips.

Cinderella searches for her prince on Match.com - and leases her
pumpkin-colored SUV at Avis.com.

problems stuffing the wicked witch into her microwave oven.

To avoid travel stress, Alice now plans her Wonderland vacation with
velocity.com.

A reformed Ebenezer Scrooge sends Bob Cratchett to update his certification
for Excel and Quicken.

Jack's making a fortune on his beanstalk bioengineering breakthrough.

Old McDonald uses voice recognition to make ordering easy at his
agricultural auction site eieio.com.

Romeo and Juliet avoid tragic problems by keeping in touch through their
cell phones.

With her early Web capabilities, Charlotte is now a motivational speaker at
tech conferences around the world.

The Pied Piper switched career fields after his tunes were bootlegged on
Napster.

videoconferencing.

Gulliver is on sabbatical using up all his frequent flyer miles.

Jack and Jill order their Evian on peapod.com.
