our experiences over decades are the same as yours in the last ten days. so at this point, there remains little motivation for us to rehash them. all of the problems are well-known, and most are out of our control... so we go on, and wait for the world to change, as we know that it will, since we see that the youngsters are very different from their parents. and we make wishes that the oldsters die sooner rather than later... ;+) we hope for a return to the early days of the personal computer revolution, when the technology was disruptive in nature and changing life every day; but alas, that made some of the principals filthy rich and now they seem to want to do what the privileged have always done, resist and retard progress that threatens to have even any slight negative impact on their pursestrings. so even though we hope for some radical transformation, we are realistic, and realize that the change is far more likely to come much more gradually. finally, we hope that e-books catch on in china -- how can they not? -- because nothing mobilizes american capitalists like a communist threat. one more note, i guess. i wish we could "leap-frog" new eyes like yours, to help them focus past what we _already_ know, and on into the future... -bowerbird
