The flipside to this argument is the time it takes for new technologies to become adopted or accepted. From the standpoint of software development, the time it takes for software to become stable enough to be considered relatively free of defects. One example of the former is XHTML, how long has it been since the W3C released the recommendation as a replacement for HTML and what percentage of all pages are still HTML? Economics drives, or rather slows down, this process as well. The Web is evolutionary, not revolutionary. -- Douglas Clifton dwclifton@gmail.com http://loadaveragezero.com/ http://loadaveragezero.com/app/s9y/ http://loadaveragezero.com/drx/rss/recent
