1982 Minitel

"Since its early days, users could make online purchases, make train reservations, check stock prices, search the telephone directory, and chat in a similar way to that now made possible by the Internet."

You clicked 'buy' 'buy' 'buy' and 'pay' and if that wasn't a shopping cart then what is?
But then Amazon should have come out against software/process patents instead of trying to game the system like like the above post says.

40 million here, and there it will all add up to far outweigh any gain from the single click ordering patent.
