it blows my mind just how big technology companies were able to:
1. get projects completed.
2. make any money.
after the taxes/payroll/building costs/bills/logistics/advertising/UIA/licensed/royalties/ lawyers… yada yada
and all of what goes in to something like for example a Quadra 700.
Design / Plastic's / PCB / Parts / Placement / PSU / etc. takes a big crew of people. and a whole lotta vendors.
I have no idea legally who all gets paid for using technology from
Standards/Associations - Licensed Technology… POOOF!
I guess I'd be interested to see a breakdown.
