>> Being first, being the most expensive, having the biggest market is not >> enough to sustain a competitive advantage over the long haul… C'mon Myron, I thought you were in the Accounting field. Don't they teach you guys economics? How the hell does one get to be first, supply a high-priced product, and corral the biggest market? By maintaining a competitive advantage over the others! Sheesh, think about what you're saying — we weren't FORCED to buy AutoCAD, and most all of us reviewed all the CAD possibilities out there before making our decision. My firm actually had a copy of VersaCad which simply could not measure up, dollar for dollar. And Intergraph, the former ubiquitous choice in CAD products, before AutoCAD one had to buy a small mainframe to achieve the same productivity. Stick to counting beans… you haven't learned economics yet (well maybe VooDoo Reaganomics, but then that isn't a science). Brian
