Can we apply this to a business web site as an example? Your templates, 

something like Amazon, perhaps, has a basic header and sidebar layout, 

but each time a visitor comes, based upon their ID or cookie, the pages 

come up with specific recommendations for books in the same category as 

last purchased, click through ads appear down the right side of the page, 

etc... all directed at the real time viewing of the client?  Or is this 

not really what Generator is for and that is some other magic?
