Yep - if only. I once read (OK, skimmed) a book called "Butterfly Economics" (after the notorious butterfly effect) which explained, amongst other things, why the rational actor model of economics doesn't work. Classical economics dictate that all consumers will purchase the product that provides the greatest returns for the minimum cost - the law of supply and demand. If this were true, no one would have ever bought a Cabbage Patch Kid, a Furbie, a VHS recorder or Windows. Robin
