Summary: 


    I'll give a short example.  I would state this more directly and tech-
nically, but I don't want to get into semantic quibbles, and I'm sure that
you can all figure out the parallels.  If anyone cares to write this up with
all of the correct terms (niche, resource exclusion, etc.), feel free.

        Don Paolo (A-X) has a nice racket going on in Silicon Valley.  The
    area barely supports him, and can't support two rackets at once, but
    he has managed to beat out all opposition so that the Valley is *his*
    turf.  Then Tanaka-san (A-X+1) moves in with the Yakuza to get a piece
    of the action.  Not only is Tanaka-san better at the old rackets, he also
    has some new angles figured on some new rackets that he exploits.  After
    a while, Don Paolo can't take the heat because Tanaka-san has too many of
    his resources tied up, and his organization crumbles, leaving the Valley
    to Tanaka-san and the Yakuza.
