I define industrial as 'Work performed in linear time for work-exchange units'.
Doyle; Well I see a difference between IBM providing main frames and support for businesses, and consumer gaming industry products for young men. Or for that matter, DARPA 'projects' the military pay for that relate to Oil Industry problems but the Oil industry isn't willing to pay for the research and development of expensive high performance machines and the U.S. government does support developing high performance machines in some like manner to Japanese government support. The Japanese had a long term experience with government support for the electronics industry that was used in developing their software industry. I see the current troubles Sony have as a demonstration that those frameworks don't give high quality results in the most powerful Japanese corporations. Or explain why South Korea is taking the lead away from Japan in many 'electronic' production commodities. Doyle
