That may be if you’re a tech entrepreneur riding around on your Segway in Marin Country and you’ve bet a small fortune launching a new media device that will be a shortwave, broadsheet, TV and cassette player/recorder all in one. It all sounds like a load of nonsense, however, if you’re a press baron in Hamburg with a view of the container ships silently gliding up the Elbe laden with reels of glossy paper bound for printing plants all over the Federal Republic."
