Good thread, food for thought. I do not know any other business that works like
that of the computer business, or that works that way so obviously. Those of us
who purchase specialty products for exorbitantly high prices and are on limited
incomes have a right to vent once in a while. Then there are those who cannot
afford to support the equipment purchased for them by Rehab. in the first
place; these guys have the same problem. It seems that specialty products
usually have the right idea when it comes to providing a product that meets the
need; but the product falls short in quality control and or reliability.
Products that are adapted seem to lack in fully meeting the need in general.
The area that comes to mind is that of small pocket note takers.
As long as Microsoft keeps changing their platform, then companies have to
spend more to accommodate those changes. I am sure that Microsoft is helping
companies who they will later swallow up, and our specialty products will be
watered down.
Although this thread did not answer any specific jaws question, it did make us
back up from our microscopes and look at the bigger picture and that can be
good.
