There is a market for those who don't want to think before buying, who just want to buy, who want to be told what's the "right way". In a free society, it's also a freedom to give up the individual choice, as strange as it sounds. By spending more money, customers are able to "buy theirselves free" from doubt and fear. I admit that this attitude shares aspects of a typical belief or even religion. This concept runs the thing we currently call the "self-controlling market". > BTW, I'd _love_ to see Microsoft "held legally respnsible" for _their_ > product shortcomings. They'd be out of business in a week at the outside. Would benefiting a healthy and free market, which means real capitalism (not the stage show we're experiencing today). :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
