<<For example, there are no new fixes available for Windows 95 - if you need a fix, you need to upgrade to Windows 98 or Win Me, even if you don't need anything extra they provide. Also, even if the new software only marginally improves your bottom line (perhaps via slightly reduced support costs etc.), you will be forced to upgrade, because otherwise, your competitor will upgrade and turn the force of that marginal benefit against you.>> But with constantly dropping prices, less able to manipulate the accounting to cover up the true cost. What is it you think you know that old Larry himself does not know? Chugs, Jay

If I were you, I would listen to JAY - time to look in the mirror. Unreal how few see the big picture of what is happening here. People need to do more reading - plenty of great books that show how American Government has failed us all. And setting the country up for the big fall - there is the potential to no longer be a leading economic power and join the ranks of a second world nation. Laugh at me all you like, but time for every American to take responsiblity and write his Congressman. Let them know what is happening and why you see it. Participate in your country, many do not. Not need to get into details on this one post. The reality is that postindustrial era (ie. internet era business) and not hard industry (ie. manufacturing) will not take America to the land of riches. A few will benefit but many more will be left behind. And why do you think we have such a massive trade imbalances - this is all due to the postindustrial business model that America and its government has choose to embark on. And let me tell you, things will get much worst before they get better. So wake up and understand what is occuring here and now, this is not merly an inventory correction - but something much larger. All the best. West
