Hi Mike,
I think you are right to some extent . . . This man should be able to
command ANY price he seeks, provided that is, that the rest of us have the
option to NOT pay it. That is not the case from what I have read on this
newsgroup. He wants to dictate the price, and also have his device made
mandatory on every machine made. This is how monopolies got such a bad rap,
and became illegal. Let the man decide who he will market to, and the
price, but the choice of whether or not someone buys his product should
remain at the discretion of the buyer, not the government or the
manufacturer.
