By that analogy, Macs' or Amiga's would be the same or WORSE monopoly
than PC Compatibles... if you want a network card for a Mac .. you
have to buy it from Apple... I can choose what make of Network card I

I was referring to a single company monopoly ... where it is
anti-competitive for the market concerned.
