What the hell does this have to do with monopolies?

Your're using a discussion on business theories, which took place in a
conference filled with propeller-heads, for ammunition?
I can understand why you'd be begging off at this point.

Why should *all* programs be "easy" (whatever the fuck that means)"
Define "easy"...
Anything that is "easy" for a beginner to use is damn-near impossible
to get to perform at the level necessary for extreme users.
i.e. a fixed-undercarriage Piper Cub is not, and never will be a
suitable fighter aircraft for naval carrier operations.
Conversely, using F/A-18's makes carrier-based air-superiority missions
MUCH easier than attempting to use a Piper Cub...even though the
Piper Cub is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to fly and maintain.
i.e. in conventional parlance 'easy' = extremely limited abilities.

That's a myth. The Democrats are in bed with corporate America FAR
more than the Republicans.
Republicans do a lot to preserve the rights of SMALL businesses
AGAINST the plutocratic ways of "big business".
Here's a general rule of thumb....WHATEVER the Democrats accuse
the Republicans of doing...you can guarantee that the Democrats
are 10x to 100x as guilty of the same offense....much like the
preacher who constantly harps on and on about adultery while
secretly running around on his wife.

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
