Re: Besides, it just doesn't make any sense. I agree with you personally. But in a way, it makes sense. In a democratic society(including US of course), TOO MUCH SUCCESS IS A CRIME.(just for the reference crime's definition:an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil) Here is quote from Justice Learned Hand in the Alcoa case of 1945: "It was not inevitable that it [Alcoa] should always anticipate increases in the demand for ingot and be prepared to supply them. Nothing compelled it to keep doubling and redoubling its capacity before others entered the field. It insists that it never excluded competitors; but we can think of no more effective exclusion than progressively to embrace each new opportunity as it opened, and to face every newcomer with new capacity already geared into a great organization, having the advantage of experience, trade connections and the elite of personnel." After learning this fact, I feel a little depressed. It is inevitable that wintel will be regulated by all kinds of government if they continue on their successful path. derek
