    I suppose then, that this individual also believes that we need only one computer company (sorry Apple users, you lose) since all computers are capable of doing the same thing, one car company (why buy Ford? Chevy goes down the road too), one grocery store chain, drug store, hospital company, pharmaceutical manufacturer, etc, etc.  After all, the only thing we do by having competition in compatible technologies industries is increase the number of CEO's and executives salaries, increase competition, lo




wer prices, and increase efficiency.  Everybody knows it's not good a good idea to destroy monopolies!

    Yea right!  Sounds like socialism to me.
