Gawd, I knew I'd get in trouble with a car analogy!! At the risk of diverting the thread (like those awful GUMM buttholes), I still stand by the analogy that higher-priced niche players have a place, and that place can be a very good one. There are obviously economies of scale and other reasons for being acquired or banding together, but I think the Mercedes U.S. luxury car division is a really good Apple analogy: they are never going to be mainstream, they are more expensive than other cars, other cars can do 90% of what they can, yet they are a very solid, profitable division. If it was a stand-alone company, I don't think people would be prediciting their immediate demise the way people do Apple. Anyway, that's just my two cents, -- Pete
