The paradigm has changed in that what one has to do is to do an end run
around the 50ish, computer illiterate, white good ol' boys waiting for
pensions/stock options cash outs and market the technology directly to
the company's stockholders. The drug companies use this approach
effectively when they target the consumer -- even though doctors hate

might be an interesting test case to monitor... In every sales situation
you are going to offend someone -- the strategy is picking the right
enemy.
