Hold on. It's not a lack of *products* -- there are, literally, dozens
out there -- every major maker has something or other. So it's not the
AT "failure" that's doing it. It's "convergence". We have computer
people doing audio, and audio people doing computers. And neither really
know how to blend the two.

As a 25 year computer veteran and 20 year audiophile, it's
depressing/amusing to watch everyone fumble this so badly. Part, no
doubt, is the pressures from the media conglomerates, who are totally
vacant when it comes to understanding what's going on (can they spell
"dinosaur", I wonder).
