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).
