penicillin and coyotes don't quite cut the same analogy that implanted genes have. what about tilapia in N. America and Australia and all those barnacles in ship ballast being brought to other places? it's always the rate of change. if it's too fast, nature/evolution has trouble keeping up. the exception are very small things with very short periods between reproduction (bacteria/virii)... the question should be how much can we push the envelope before it breaks...

Which is all very interesting, but the point is this: if you have learned to type on a QWERTY keyboard, the cost of retraining for Dvorak (however modest) is not worth paying. This implies, in turn, that the QWERTY standard is efficient. There is no market failure.
the cost of retraining might be prohibitive but this doesn't mean that we shouldn't train the next generation of keyboard users (all the children who have yet to start using keyboards) to what might be a better way of doing things...
for all the Economist says about economists using anecdotal histories, this article has its own logical problems...
could a major anti-microsoft group go and buy one notebook from each and every major oem and demand the refund under the EULA?
instant figuring out of MSFT's differential Win95 pricing scheme... hehe... for a small cost (what's a few thousand to a multibillion dollar company... can you say "Oracle" (or Sun or whatever)?)

...? hmm... science books for star trek.... funny concept that.
sure looks like it.
i'll bet they come up with a snazzy new one for release time though.
hmm... does it make me an old-time web surfer to have actually used netscape 0.9 before? (not to mention various versions of Mosaic...)
