Isn't there some general psychological principle that we can only deal with a certain number of options (fewer than 10) comfortably? I just read Hank Fay's post about open source options and it was like reading Farsi. Maybe this really is an industry for the young. I used to be able to keep up with it and now feel a little bewildered. Hence my desire to fasten onto something that is up to date and marketable.
