Bad analogy -- Performa was a disaster for Apple.  Sure it increased shelf
space, but it killed forecasting (one Apple line was competing against
another) which increased inventory, and the whole scheme confused the
customers in general.

I do get your point, though.  Again, I'm not demanding it, I'm not sure I
even would want it --- I just want to have the discussion now, before
there are any problems.

Thanks,
J.
