- I'm sorry, but I just don't see this "vested interest" argument you
- and several others are espousing. VIScorp's "vested interest" is in
- ensuring that their ITV device is well publicized and technologically
- supported. It is _not_ in going head-to-head with the mighty juggernaut
- that is the PC clone industry, and what little they've said in the
- rather brief press release doesn't say much to contradict this
- observation.

- Personally, I hope I'm wrong and that VIScorp will make me look like
- a fool for doubting. But businesses exist to make money, and their
- money is in ITV. The pictured looks pretty grim to me.
