It just took WotC those years worth of time you mention to try to bring out their Coke Classic via Essentials.I say the analogy works VERY well. You just have to look at them not in exact times, but time in relative terms of the products. Ask yourself, now that the time has passed, is Essentials WotC's Coke Classic?WAY off topic as to not telling retailers and such, but I just want to support the New Coke analogy as I see it fits also.</blockquote>
