Re: Price is determined by what a willing buyer and a willing seller...

Hi John,

Tell me something, do you think that Microsoft or Intel (especially Microsoft) would exist as they do today if IBM hadn't been forced by the government to open up its various bundling activities?

If you aren't familiar with the computer industry pre-IBM antitrust action, no need to reply.

Regards,

Dan
