Lots of choices for us all. Obviously too many for me, since I want one of each.
Chuck, yes, you're absolutely right. However, I would draw a subtle distinction between companies that a) actually produce something tangible which reflects some fine craftsmanship, and b) those that simply license a name for $'s and add nothing to the inherent qualities of the product. The former seems to reflect a desire to produce something meaningful and inherently valuable for a fair rate of exchange while the latter seems to reflect a desire to simply extract some money for nothing.
