Of course, I see you are a fellow Texan..... So I would expect a certain clarity of thought.......
It's the over time part that all parties miss. The company is so caught up in trying to recreate the past, and the consumers forget how quickly things do change. 30 years go by, and no one remembers the company, and the new generation of consumers smirk at the old technology's. The current model has been around about 40 years, time for a change. Time for independent publishers and "author publishers" to come to the front. Let the massive corporate monopolies fade....
