No more Blockbuster. No more Hollywood Express. Forbes Magazine thinks that kozmo.com is going to put rental stores out of business and the 27-year-old president of kozmo is convinced that he already feeds half of the potheads in New York City. Kozmo assumes that most people never want to leave their homes, and they're probably right. With free delivery of everythingoeven Oreos, ice cream, Pringles, chocolate and Cokeorenting a movie just became real simple. In snow, sleet and rain, kozmo's heroic bike couriers guarantee free delivery in under one hour. And if you are too busy to drop of your video in at a special kosmo drop-off bin, they'll come right back and pick it up. Kozmo's Boston service, which started last week, delivers movies for $2.99 (keep it for two nights) and pick-up is $1 extra. The waiting, it seems, is the hardest part.
