[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grayfox1119 This is no different than what has happened in many industries in the country, just look at Computer industry. Digital Equipment Corp was the leader in the world in 1989 in mid size computers, where are they now? Gone with the wind, along with Data General. The auto market, the steel industry, banks, all the same. It takes real good CEO's to keep a company in competition, it takes GREAT CEO's to GROW and expand a company. You must listen to your customers, anticipate their needs. Someone mentioned above in the thread that the MRR companies are not listening to "us". Well, let me tell you, if we did not buy what they offered fo sale, it wouldn't take long for some changes would it??!!! You don't make money with your products sitting on the shelf. WE, the MRR people DRIVE this market with our purchases. We have far more clout than you realize. I have recently retired from a major semiconductor company, I have a very good handle on what customers can and cannot dictate in the marketplace.....don't seel yourselves short gentlemen!! grayfox1119 [/quote] Grayfox is right: MONEY TALKS AND BULS*** WALKS. Everytime that you go into your LHS and spend money your voting for one company and voting against another. If your LHS wont handle what you want to buy, you'll go somewhere else and he'll either get what you want or go out of business. A lot of the forum members don't have layouts and don't spend a lot of money on the hobby so they can sit here all day and talk about what they're going to do, but if they don't spend money - look at the caps at the top of my reply. About all of the mergers - when your in business EVERYTHING is for sale if the offer is right. Have a happy New Year Bob
