I am quite mystified by all this talk of going on holiday with
bicycles powered by 747 engines. Is X.500 the 747 engine or the 
bicycle?

Last time I flew in a 747 the engines were made by Rolls Royce,
and moreover airplane engines are like car engines. You can buy
the same chasis with more than one engine and the same engine
is sold in more than one chasis.

You chose your engine with respect to your needs.

Similarly when I went on holiday this summer I chose to drive
my car 2,500 miles rather than be herded into a 747 like cattle.


If the transport analogy was valid and the assertion that X.500
was the only solution was true we would all be using public 
transport.
