>> The final test, I guess, is on a bullet train in full Mo.

During my years working for a Japanese company, I travelled on the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) on numerous occasions. I regret we haven't developed something equivalent to this marvellous high speed people mover in the USA. As you'll see from the following chart, we rank 9th in the world. The good news is that we are ahead of the Finns <gg>.

Eric,

I've referenced the Geoffrey Moore Presentation called "Standards and the Gorilla Game: the Dynamics of Setting Standards in High Tech Markets" which was presented at the "US-Japan Technology Management Center" before on this thread.

Thanks for pointing out this presentation again, I must have missed it before. I've lent my copy of TFM to a friend as holiday reading and this will have to serve to temper the withdrawal symptoms until I can get it back from her!

I have "page points"

Some say they can judge people by the company they keep. Personally, I prefer to judge them by the way they mark their pages. :)

P. S. Can you tell that the only thing I can do right now is spend a couple hours killing time before getting on the plane? :)
