Now, Paul, would you still say that if IBM's disk drives were not $1,400
a piece but $140,000 a piece? I don't think so. Your 'sole source'
arguments are not valid per se, but only as long as the drive's cost
is a small fraction of the system cost. As that fraction increases,
the 'sole source' argument becomes increasingly invalid. IBM just
have to keep the price point just below the threshold of pain.
