Once again, bean counters making decisions that are contrary to good business practices.

What most people do not know, or do not want to admit, is that a company lives or dies with it’s sales force. You cannot stay in business if you do not sell anything.

They jumped the gun a few months ~ maybe as much as a year.

High ticket television sets are rapidly turning into ordinary consumer products with much lower prices.

I recall that a 26 inch TV 50 years ago cost over $300. With a remote that might jump to $350. An equivalent cost today would be about $4,000.

That was a serious purchase in its time ~ $400 for a far larger thin screen projection TV is not so serious now.

A DMD device should cost less than $100 given its lack of complexity BTW.

I’m betting the boss is one of the higher paid people. Time for him to go!

After spending a good deal of time in the corporate world, I came to the conclusion if the typical accounting grad student spent more time gettin' some lovin', or at least getting drinks, then none of this would ever happen.

Yup. See it often at work. Apple seems to be the only company that escapes this trap.
