It's just like camera gear- anything to make things more costly, I suppose. For instance, Nikon lenses and Canon lenses are not interchangeable obviously but so too are not the supposedly "compatible" stuff after a few years (3rd party makes that are foiled by new designs of Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc...) Proprietary stuff just keeps them changing so you have to buy from the specific maker for their own products. Just my RANT on things. -- SneakyP To email me, you know what to do. |
