It seems that these days companies across the board
turn things out fast to get a quick buck. Look at
what is happening with the implementation of the
'super highway' -- I haven't heard much in the way
of plans for giving us an infrastructure that will truly
support 21st century communications. Instead it looks like
the companies are using cabling and technology that
they could have had in place years ago and putting their
bucks into developing software and products that will
bring them a quick dollar.
I hope I am exaggerating... Please convince me.
