13. There are lots of people who haven't figured out

that if you have 26+ million people unemployed, 1 of every 4 homes loans underwater, a fair amount of troubled commercial real estate and a country that has switched it's wealth creation mechanism from manufacturing things people want to creating money from hot air produced by finance people who don't create diddly squat, that you have a whole lotta nuthin'. The only pent-up demand is for work and income.

Unless we start trading turtle shells, or the people with the pursestrings put unemployment (and the resources used to curtail it) on a par with war or bailing out those helpless banker folks, there exists a terribly small group who might have enough disposable income for an Ipad. And of those, how many really need an astronomy app?
