This reminds me of something that occured while I was visiting a Computerland just after IBM introduced the microcomputer to the world. I had been chatting with the owner when a real customer came into the store. After checking out all the advances of the "new" IBM PC (with 16 K and cassette input) he began to look over an Apple II plus. After a few minutes, the customer commented how unfair it was that IBM should bring out a great new product idea like the microcomputer and right away, some small company comes out with the same thing.
