True, but pundits have been saying "we can't afford to change" every time a
new technology has come up. Migrating to new platforms is painful and
expensive but if we didn't ever bite the bullet we'd all still be using
relational databases and a thing called email.....

I've got first hand experience of exactly this reaction. Most of the print
industry are not interested in change and equally Macromedia are not willing
to embrace SVG. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that its not going to
happen anytime soon, but it would be nice....
