[Elecraft] Elecraft and Apple

[David Christ]

I think that Elecraft and Apple indeed do have something in common.

I compare Microsoft and Apple this way.  Bill Gates admits that his 
goal was to build a large dominant company.  He succeeded.  Apple 
seems to want to change the world through innovative and original 
ideas.  They have and they now drive a lot of the consumer 
electronics industry. Viz. Windows, media players, tablets ...

I won't make a comparison between Microsoft and the rest of the 
amateur industry, but like Apple Elecraft has a vision that has them 
create new and revolutionary radios.  We can already see their effect 
on the rest of the industry.  I leave it to the reader to make their 
own list.

Disclaimer:  Yes, Apple stole the Idea for the Mac from Xerox PARC. 
XEROX didn't know what they had or how to market it.  Apple did.
