Since when do we actually decide what's good an what's bad by the changes in the
stock market? Yes, the tech market dropped, cause it's currently very reliant on
MS, but if that will change, I'm sure we'll see a lot of the competitors' stock
go up... And the fact that consumers _always_ oppose change doesn't mean that change
isn't good, does it?
Just some thoughts,
