(Note: this was back when $1,000 was a substantial sum; that is over $2,000 in 2012 dollars.) This ability to reap a substantial premium for innovation is fundamentally what drives the technology marketplace: since competition arises in any high-profit space, the premium for innovation degrades as competitors enter the space. In the good old days, it took years for serious competition to arise. As the bumper sticker crowed, "Windows 95 = Mac 1985."
