Angelo. I understand now how you became a millionaire. (From your profile): Member 2101594 < I started with $20,000 in July 1997 in ORBI, and it has grown to over $150,000 since! > Angelo, I must learn your secrets. I've looked at ORBI's year chart...I turned it on its side, I flipped it over, I even manually converted it into candlestick formation. No matter what I did, I could never have turned $20,000 of July ORBI into $150,000. You must be the greatest trader of all time.

<That's like saying that DELL is going out of business because IBM is the computer leader in the industry...> Not exactly. 1) ORBI GPS engines not being selected will not put it out of business, so the statement you were commenting on was not as strong as you imply. 2) IBM and DELL sell to millions of customers. With that many customers there is always room for alternate choices. There are 3 US auto manufacturers and there a handful of aftermarket equipment manufacturers. ( And a number of such aftermarket manufacturers are Japanese or European who have already selected Trimble.) It is a lot easier to be frozen out of a market of less than a dozen buyers. Yin Shih
