Yes. It is rarely one particular idea or patent or whatever that makes a company successful. Apple was undoubtedly successful for a while. My take on Kemp's comments was the the success of Apple in the rough and tumble of the high tech industry could hardly be chalked up solely to the exploitation of that particular idea. For instance, you may have invented the better mousetrap but if you can't sell it, market it, ship it, etc. it means nothing. JLA
