Sustainability Standards

I tend to watch from the sidelines rather than immediately "jump on the bandwagon". I don't commit myself to new technologies until they have been fully proven. Remember what they used to say about the new invention, TV; "I'm waiting until they improve them". Some bought TV sets as soon as they hit the market; most waited many years before getting their first set. With me, it's the same with technology. I don't fall for the "latest and greatest". When digital tape recorders came out, they cost a pretty penny and look what happened. Within a year, it almost completely disappeared from the market. Like everything else, there are two categories of people; those who make it and those who want to take it away (Marketeers). They are relentless in their quest to take your money through ads, mailings, pop-ups, phone calls, etc. You know what! it works. No matter how intelligent; or how much will power you may have, the majority of the public will give in eventually. They know that repetitive attacks will eventually succeed. It's a matter of being stronger than them; not an easy task.

Sorry for the long dragged out reply. I'm just taking this opportunity to vent my feelings.
