John, Don't give up so easily. There could be other superstrong materials that are almost as good or perhaps even better than Kevlar. This gets back to the VHS vs. Betamax argument. Lots of people think Betamax was better but VHS was better marketed. Sony was sole Betamax vendor vs. Matsushita sold VHS engine to dozens of different box makers - let them create the competitive market. Is this too different from Apple and Intel? Some say the PowerPC chip is better, but Intel took the VHS marketing approach and Intel chips are sold in Compaq, Dell, HP, Sony, etc. boxes. Apple took the Sony Betamax strategy and now they have only 3% of the market.
