BTW, this "intrinsic" value which I tout *is* measurable, in the same 
way a virus' damage to the economy is measurable.  If a software program 
speeds efficiency, cuts costs, or provides a means to new revenue, the 
change in revenue for any business is measurable.  Note that this has 
*nothing* to do with the amount paid for said software.

This very simple concept is just one of many ways of measuring the 
intrinsic value of a product.  There are several more-sophisticated ways 
which give more accurate results.
