Part of me is elated and part of me has the shivers. We'll just have to sit and watch. With multiple *viable* platforms any manner of outcomes are possible.
Viable doesn't just mean technically sound, or even superior. Have seen some great products flushed to neverland via poor marketing or ill-conceived pricing strategies. I was pretty ticked to see CF go back up in price late last yr. Seemed like a mystifying move in the wrong direction at the time, and now... Like I said, interesting times. ------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com ------------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Ken Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 14:16:52 -0500 >Will be interesting to see what kind of traction BlueDragon gets in the >marketplace.
