<<When changes in price do not affect demand, it has LOWER elasticity, not HIGHER.>>

You are right, I mistyped. I clearly understand the concept, this was a case of thinking one thing and typing another.

I do maintain that your ideas (or lack thereof) are flimsy and unobjective. As an example, you compare the penetration of VCRs to computers in households, I ask what is the penetration of computers into business. Business is where the elasticity of demand (or correctly stated, inelastic demand) for computers really matters. So Microsoft's dominance doesn't affect a household that may buy a computer on average every couple of years or so, but business that are buying computers everyday. And this in turn, affects their profitability.
