And the only one to blame is the market itself. With Radio dead in a swamp of payola and programming, MTV is a reality station, and live concerts based upon acts at least a decade old and charging over the top prices the joy that once was music has been squeezed out by the money grubbers. The mass market can not convey the joy of music to the masses anymore and so it simply must see the light. Its death kneel
The sad thing is a generation ago the money men would have co-opted the digital scene now the current corporate heads can only see dollar signs from there own vacuous souls
To be way too concise - they make/upgrade large computing systems for large businness and corporations.
I recall working for the city of Los Angeles and was told by my boss to attend a meeting where a new city wide inventory system would be unvailed to replace the antiquated IBM system. When nothing of substance was unvailed by the vendor I had the "this anit good" feeling about this creawing up the back of my neck. Anyway the whole thing ended as a fiasco woth 7 million dollers of taxpayer money flushed down the tubes. (This during a Republican mayor) If IBM did the upgrade they would have changed a lot more BUT it would haved worked.
