   One of the biggest errors that Apple made in the mid-90s was offering   
   too many models of computer and too many options on the machines. It   
   created a serious sense of confusion about their products and did real   
   damage to them. Now, offering options for the type of mouse you can buy   
   is hardly the same, but one of the "corrections" that had to be made to   
   Apple when Steve Jobs returned was paring all that down. I agree Apple   
   should consider making this an option at some point, but given that   
   their energies have fallen primarily into the "keeping the company   
   alive during an OS transition" effort, I'd say it's a minor issue. File   
   under "who really gives a shit."

   It does.

   Funny. How could that possibly be analogous when it was Microsoft--and   
   NOT Apple--who was found guilty of abusing its monopoly power?
