Business as Usual

from the don't-forget-to-roll-with-change dept

Here's a little reminder of how technology and therefore the business of technology has always been of a cyclical nature. Innovations by their very nature lead to destruction of the technology that has come before it, so all of these failures are to be expected and even relished because they make way for new technologies and industries. End of preaching!

    I had totally forgotten about Procomm before reading this article. I remember switching to Telix when Procomm Plus came out.

    The current crash, though, has little to do with technology becoming obsolete.

    I sort of disagree, yes it was a mania but the current drop is also due to a changing of the guard. Investors are starting to realising that change will occur in the medium - long term to the traditional technology guard (i.e. currently very PC centric).
