[EC]  I also dislike the term “disruption”.  It is just finding a hungry vendor 
that will fill the (our) need. I like a #3 that is trying to grow. Then if the 
larger vendor sees our goal is too insignificant to care, the smalller vendor 
will peel away (insignificant) market share and everyone is happy. If the 
smaller vendor starts taking away too much market share then the dominant 
vendor will change. This kind of change is better than talking to a dominant 
vendor sitting pretty.
