Coca Cola went from Coke Classic to New Coke; at least they had the guts to admit that it was a bad idea, and reverse it. IBM walked away from their market leading AT. Rather than put a 386 cpu on the motherboard, they went with the PS/2 design, which bombed. Micropro *OWNED* word-processing with a DOS-port of their cpm-based Wordstar product. People were begging and pleading with them to patch it to recognize subdirectories. Instead, Micropro dropped Wordstar, and came up with a "user friendly" menu-driven abortion called Wordstar 2000. That was the end. Do you see a pattern here? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
