And that goes for everything. We see Apple giving away their stuff to Doctors knowing they'll get them hooked on them and they'll end up demanding we use them later. Yeah, at those prices, good luck with that...
But hey, it's all expensive, it's just some are more expensive than others, and the marketing teams earn every penney they make, they sure can gloss-up a turd.
I liken it to the VTC world saying the Video conferencing can replace travel. Sure.... Not that it's a bad thing, and I use it MANY MANY MANY hours of every work day, but I've never fooled myself that it can replace travel. I'll but that as soon as the top brass make that "big corporate deal" over a VTC session.
Again, nothing replaces the real thing...
