Bink is probably also the only program he's  using that  does ZedZap. 
To be quite frank, I haven't  cared to  pay very  close attention  to 
this whole issue.

It's way beyond mere economics. He appears not to be able to change a 
hypothesis when presented with facts that conflict with his opinion.

I've  see  quite a  few people  exhibit this  behavior -   it usually 
appears manifested with half-baked debugging attempts.  Lock on  to a 
hypothesis, and stick with it! If the data changes, STILL  STICK WITH 
IT!
