I think 25-Mar-89 _The Economist_ put it best: ... At stake is technology that promises to make computers easier to use. Clear ownership of user-interface technology would put Apple in a commanding market position. It would drastically alter competition and innovation. Imagine what might have happened had an early carmaker managed to patent the steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals. Apple's chances of establishing such ownership seem slim, but other computer-makers and software houses will not rest easily until it is made clear what litigious Apple might or might not own. ... [What's more basic "look and feel" than the above mentioned components of an automobile?] -- -- ----------------- Peter Palij uunet!apexepa!peter Apex Software Corporation peter@apexepa.uucp Phone: (412) 681-4343
