I must be old.
It's not that you're old -- it's that you're not in Amazon Prime's target market.
Since January 1st of this year, my wife and I have ordered 303 items from Amazon in 158 shipments. We've also streamed more movies and TV shows on Prime than I can recall. For us (and over 150 million other subscribers), Prime makes sense.
