I don't think they are stupid, but, consider...... there was a guy  
[can't remember his name] who was the original 'king of video games'  
composer.
I seem to recall him telling the story where he was sleeping on the  
beach, working at Guitar Centre and some guy walks in looking for  
anyone to put music to a game........ 'how much'  ...... $100k says  
our beach babe............ done.

In the days of at worst..... casio tones.... all 8 of them ;-)

No, surely, the value is in the pocket of he who pays.
