And that's OK, the PC industry needs their version of McDonald's too.

I never claimed that they did something technologically innovative for the PC industry, but changing the way every company did business is revolutionary whether you think so or not. The fact that 15 years ago a entry level PC was $1500 and is now $499 due in part to Dell is revolutionary. Don't just look at thing's from the technology standpoint. Business practices can be revolutionary.
