Let the lurkers flame. The ESRI hegemony on data distribution is
about to crumble into dust whether they like it or not. MapInfo's
MIF/MID and native tab format and AutoDesk's DXF and DWG are
included in the roundup as well. MapInfo data vendors, state and
federal governments, entrepreneurs; warm up your CD burners!
Something wonderful is about to happen on our little blue marble.
Stay tuned to MapInfo-L for an announcement tomorrow.
In the meantime, anyone who doesn't understand that with the
information age a new economic vision is capturing hearts and minds,
ought to take a look at this (thanks to Terry O'Brien for pointing
out this URL):

In particular, check out Rule #2: the Law of Plentitude - More gives
more. This piece may give you something to think about, and tomorrow
you will see this principle in action.
