Thats the same mentality that screwed them over in the PC market.

When Apple II hit the streets about the same time as the IBM PC...it was a far superior product....even when you had the Mac II it was still far superior.

But they decided not to share their technology where IBM did......and...well the rest is history. The Market was flooded with IBM Clones. By the time they decided to release it, it was to late.

I remember those 1st Apple clones....what an absolute POS they were
