This is kind of like saying that because the sales have gone up, obviously

it is becoming the preferred medium.  However the truth of the matter is

very likely the percentage of the market it occupies is actually

shrinking.  Until I see solid numbers that say otherwise and how those

numbers were come up with, I would find it very hard to believe otherwise.

I am avoiding touching on the rest of the post right now as I need to get

going.
