<<Apple has NEVER has a monopoly.????. I seem to remember the Apple II's being pretty damned dominant in america.. >>

People here takes things WAY to literally.

I can make a ass-scratcher and be the only ass-scratcher maker in the world and you could say I have a monopoly. But the market for ass-scratchers is pretty limited, people have a low elasticity of demand for ass-scratchers so I would have little power to dominate the customers in the ass-scratcher market.

In the early days of computing, people did not depend on them to any significant degree. Now they are a part of our lives, everywhere and everyday. Get the difference?
