Sorry Tom, I didn't mean to step on your turf. Go beat the help; you know how that makes you feel better. > Bad analogy. That's hardware. No, it's a market supply response in meeting demand. Should I go over it with you again? Billy has a brewery that makes tasty beer, but has no way to distribute it. Sally at the glass factory sees this and makes bottles to hold it and Roger at the foundry gets the idea to make the bottle openers. Amy at the goldfish store thinks Sally should be making fish bowls instead of beer bottles, but goldfish just aren't selling much these days. Sally understands and apologizes for the market conditions, but Amy tells her to stuff it. Bob opens his Tasty Beer store after Amy's goldfish market closes down from sagging sales and poor management. Billy buys the first round in celebration of his first big sale. Amy goes back to academia and publishes papers bitterly criticizing free enterprise. > What's actually happening in that space > is > that everyone uses MP3 format, exactly as they should. Well, *almost* everyone. **cough** iTunes **cough** > Silverlight is a Johhny-come-lately, mee-too product that MS is now > trying to shove down people's throats "because we can". Are you sure it's Microsoft? Because the stuff you write is what hits my gag reflex on a regular basis. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
