Interesting how consumers don't seem to have any problem understanding new
areas of popular culture, at least according to the media.  I feel like
sending CNN a letter the last couple days, inquiring:

1) Who exactly, is "Winona Ryder"??
2) Why exactly, am I supposed to care??

but after 20 years the liter is still something difficult to understand.

<sigh>
