AB: That is a stretch. MSFT sales to OEM box maker not the same as Market Basket's sales to me, a consumer. IBM-NY not in the same area (geographical) as Dell-Texas. But of course you will say that doesn't apply here and you would be right. This parable is not very apt. Supermarkets/retail not = to Box Makers/Manufacturing. The thought of MSFT abusing IBM in the marketplace is laughable when considering the relative sizes of the companies at the time and the fact that IBM was a competitor of MSFT's in the O/S arena. JFD
