No reinvention there, whatever the marketing people say.
If you read what I wrote, the comparison wasn't against other car wheels, it was with the wheels used by the original inventors of the wheel, i.e. stone age man. I also didn't write that the "reinventing" was done by BMW, so your objection doesn't really apply. But car wheels most definitely were reinvented in the same sense software is (by which is really meant 'reimplemented') --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
