Haim,

Well, then, what happens to Screw Driver companies who produce
slotted screwdrivers when the technology companies patent,
trademark, and successfully market philip's head screwdrivers?

The answer is embodied in companies like CPQ: profits fall
precipitously and they are stuck with huge inventories of
slotted screwdrivers to get rid of & they are incapable of
responding with a creative answer to philip's head screwdrivers
because they're not technology companies and they don't innovate.

They will wind up going the way of buggy-whip manufacturers.

Wall St., by the way, is great at 20-20 hindsight, but really
can't see 2 feet in front of itself.
