over extended?
what from 5 people to 6?

I think the other thing that killed them was that they never ever really
'finished' anything..
People will only put up with that kinda trick for so long..

As for the software argument, sorry, Microsoft continue to grow,
Access-music continue to grow, VSTi's are getting more popular, Steinberg
are growing and so on...
Most mobile phones rely heavily on software, and you can't say that area of
business is in decline!

So, Sorry I hate to disagree with you, but I do on this point.
