>>A comparison of the British Railroad System from its beginnings might be a good analogy to the computer industry. Originally, the British government allowed private railroads. At one time five different companies laid track side by side from London throughout the country. It was not long before all five companies went out of business. The government took over the Railroads. In this case the government might take the form of Microsoft. Maybe Microsoft will take over the government! :) > >Note the date on this: >http://www.teamits.com/connection/index.php?/connection/humor/msusa.htm
