Harry,

Still can't buy the gas analogy. With a PC, you buy the product with the cpu. When you buy a car, you choose your gas of preference, and can switch brands repeatedly. The type of gas in the car you buy isn't important to your decision, as the cpu is to computer consumers.

Remember NutraSweet, now there was a component (ingredient) that commanded brand preference. Since then, I can't think of a component of a finished goods product that has been as influential to the consumer as Intel has.
