Andy,

>>You're right. These morons in washington dc don't know anything about the industry.

Which country should we model our government after to improve things?

With the government out of the way, intellectual property rights have exactly zero meaning. How long do you think software vendors would last when a CD-ROM costs less than a dollar to pirate? Ask the Chinese about their special interpretation of "intellectual property". Would the resulting anarchy really provide a better environment for capitalism?

>>anyway, government doesn't belong in business... unless it's a corporate social state, but is that what anyone wants?...

I'm not big on government involvement in general but I'm also not big on depressions, recessions, stagflation, or other economic hiccups that corporations are unable to prevent or resolve. Can you honestly think of a better time in history for consumers than today? Look what the average person had available to them historically and what you have in the way of opportunity.

In today's economy it is not the Feds that are holding anyone back, its laziness. People can use government involvement as an excuse for their own failures, but I see plenty of people in every field who succeed simply by not sitting on their fat ass and whining how sore it is.

Microsoft is selling 1-3 year-old software and it has not slowed the economy in the least. What is it exactly that Win98 does for national productivity that Win95 can not be made to do?

Cheers,

Norm
