First Inkscape Graph: Metcalfe's Law

Hello World. Here is my first stab at a graph made in Inkscape. It's a duplication of the famous* slide by Bob Metcalfe where he originally presented his contention that the value of networks increases exponentially with the increase in the number of users. His statement is now called Metcalfe's Law, and is the foundation of the theory of network effects in economics. Here is a fun and spirited defense of the law against critics, by Metcalfe himself.

As the foundation of the theory of network effects, Metcalfe's law is very important to my own economics. So I've played with Inkscape here re-creating Metcalfe's original 35 mm slide. This is all just freehand, as befits a graph that is illustrating a concept rather than showing an actual, measurable quantitative relationship. As Metcalfe himself points out, it is very hard to specifically define, let alone measure, something like network "value."
