Consumer electronics price curve says they can; I'm pretty sure they didn't make money on the A900s but Sony does know how to do electronics design. Also, they don't have to make money this year, necessarily; they can make money in the future if they can manage to bleed slower than the competition, something else Sony is pretty good at. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
