Steve – > I do believe that the US marketing people are certifyably insane. Depending on my mood and level of exhaustion, I sometimes get ticked off by this sort of comment (it's my medical background…) even though I don't REALLY think you meant it literally. I feel a MAJOR problem of corporate America in general, and CBM in particular, is that too many of the policy-making and marketing people are too insulated from the real world of what us guys, the buyers and users, think about, want, and would be willing to PAY for in the way of features and products. It isn't that they KNOW what we the consumers want, and are perversely, irrationally, INSANELY doing the opposite, but rather that they DON'T KNOW, and DON'T KNOW THAT THEY DON'T KNOW! It isn't insanity, it's ignorance, insularity, stupidity, lack of business sense, and lack of common sense. . . . . . JimDoc
