Circa 1890 the director of the Paris (I think) pattent office, wrote a
letter to his supperior asking for the pattent office to be closed,
for it was clear that
 "Everything that could be invented has already been invented."

I think he would have an attack, seeing his office today.


But yes, the bootstrap is made.
For a certain time you can't hide a secret for long because some one will
find it through research.

In a cut-throat business like computers, the only way to stay ahead
should be to  keep inovating, instead of saying "We have a bus-load of
lawyers sitting in the cache concept, YOU design better disks & cpu's".

THAT would tend to stagnate the industry.
