Heheh.. I fell for this one back in 1997 or so and used to say a lot 
about how we needed more retail presense because there was an expanding 
market of retail buyers etc. I helped to find out that yes it is 
expanding quite rapidly from 0.0001% -> 1.0-2.0% of the OS market. 

The hardest way to watch money go down the drain is see a warehouse of
boxed material that didnt sell because people didn't buy your boxed set.
