You've got a good point there... I can't think of anyone that I *know* was first to market... still, I've seen lots of companies come and go, some of which seemed to have a good product. My impression was that they died because they were too late. OTOH, maybe the difference was that the other company wasn't all that bad to begin with - not *mediocre*, necessarily, just not quite as good. So maybe "good enough, soon enough" is what really wins... You've given me much to think about. Things are never quite as simple as they seem at first look...
