"in my business, most of my orders now come via email and I deliver jobs to clients via FTP, jobs that used to go via messenger and Fedex" "I generated all my Fedex labels on their site, saving the pre-printed label cost, the customer service rep call and automatically sent email to myself and the recipient about shipping times and delivery"

"She was about to go in there and buy Act! for about 200 bucks. I said, I hadn't bought any software in a retail outlet for years, not when you can buy fully legal OEM software from sellers on EBAY. While she was on the phone I punched up a search on EBAY and found her a copy of Act! for $18 plus shipping (quick buy).

In fact if you moved to a cheaper place you may decide you would RATHER pay more and get the service. That would make me look on COMCAST with a different flavor.

But if Ah doesnt boot me I thought I might interject a thought. You made a great analogy with your steam engine, maybe we can extrapolate some investing "suspects" out of it.
