     One thing that the vendors must realize is the sensitivity toward current library funding.  I am wondering if library vendors are lowering their prices based the dire straits circumstances libraries are facing.  This is another defacto example of how government reliance, regulation, and funding, or lack their of can have major implications on the market place.

     After watching the video and looking at the comment section, I noticed that someone mentioned that a lot happend since 2004.  The funny part is that the commenter is right.  Although, back in 2004, I was amazed at how Google so much more extensive then other search engines.  I still use Google to this day.
