In the beginning Apple said, "Let there be home and educational computers and let them be totally proprietary and we shall make tons of
money." And they were pretty good. Then IBM said, "Lets build some small business computers and make the achitecture completely open and lots of people
will make lots of
money and we'll create a whole industry." They were good, too. Then Apple said, "IBM is an evil empire. Apple computers are for the rest of us." All I have to say is IBM gave birth to Dell, Compaq, ATI, etc., etc., and (unfortunately) turned
Microsoft into a real evil empire. What has Apple done except try to enrich themselves?
