There's a thousand different forms of confusion, but almost everyone's confused.

The acquisition of Lauri added confusion to what we do. We'd been making similar stuff for years and everybody knew how to make those products. We basically doubled the size of our product line in one fell swoop and the old way of relying on memory no longer worked.

I'm not confused, I'm just well mixed

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

While I understand how high the stakes are for each competing format, with all the delays and confusion it seems to me that everyone is a loser. [...] Now, I'm about as big a gadget freak as anyone, but I'm not stupid. When the time arrives that I can actually go down to Blockbuster and rent a high-definition DVD, I will almost certainly buy not only a new DVD player, but that 70-inch rear projection HDTV monitor also. But with prices continually dropping, better technology [coming] with time, and nothing for me to watch on it in HDTV format anyway, what's the rush to replace what is working fine right now?
