Re: I would buy that


The way they do it now is a MARKETING MODEL. They have found that the way they do it is what sells to Joe box of rocks. The people that hang out here are, quite frankly, a niche market. There are not enough of you to make such a "barebones" service profitable.

Why do you think they ALL do things the same basic way, no matter what the product is? It has to be "NEW!", or, "FASTER", or, "GET EXTRA FREE!". It's the current, favorite MARKETING MODEL that computer makers were using from the start: More speed + we can claim it's new and keep the price up. More add on gimmicks and devices mean we can claim it's a new model and we can keep the price up. More hard drive space and a extra 200 Mhz CPU speed means we can call it new legally and keep the price up..

You get the picture?
