Distribution used to carry a hefty cost. Now any moron with a $50 microphone and a laptop can record, master, and distribute his own music. If you're using digital production (Modplug Tracker), you don't even need special equipment like instruments. Why should the music industry represent the same revenue per unit shipped as it has in the past? If it did that, it would represent literally dozens of times the profit.
You try that, as a musician (even if you get 100%) you would be extremely lucky to get you $50 back. I costs are LOT more than that to make any music and you don't get paid a cent when writing, producing and mastering.
I am terrible at learning spoken languages; but no problem learning heaps of programming languages. They use completely different skills. Coding languages are highly structured.
I know it is hard for geeks to understand; but technology is not always the best or fastest answer.
Real estate agents have a meeting before the open houses. They remember all the properties agency has for sale, and specially the ones they need to off-load. They need to know off the top of their head. A really important concept called preparation.
The brain is faster than technology - instant search which is what you need in front of a client. You can't replace street-smarts with technology.
Then again, geeks would make hopeless estate agents and sales people as they have no people skills.
Used Expression suite to make a custom embedded system on a pretty large project. It was good to integrate photoshop files from the graphic designers and convert them to controls. The UI turns out looking really professional - none of those stock standard UI controls and all beautifully rendered.
The main problem with the suite was that, in practice, the design flow is really one-way. If there was a change to the UI, you pretty much had to re-import the graphics, re-select the graphic items and group them into controls again.
For the next product iteration, we went back to WPF mixed with Windows Forms for old or 3rd party controls.

They said the same thing about the internet.
I backed it up on 8" floppy.

Just wait at mailbox to collect.
My 5 year old PC is still faster than the latest MAC and costs a quarter of the cost.
Of course. The white gloves are merely a semaphore to stop race conditions.
Hacking is really no less puerile than going around and smashing windows.
Poor bastards had to revive the near dead MIPs Linux kernel.
the power was off.

First world problem.
Except for eclipse completely ridiculous: project import system, auto add files found in directory, and configuration menus all over the place.

Yeah, sort of like hammering the last nail when you try to crucify yourself.
Trouble is, sometimes the answer is no.
... and sometimes, the answer is "both"...
Yep, that was an inclusive-or.
No, that's 0xB16B0770M5
That time? ... When they develop also develop the antidote or cure.
Not a threat if that means Motorola UI on Google hardware.
That might be 10000ft un-pressurised.
Nudists will be in for a surprise!
