Re: Apple II vs Atari 800

I see it as a problem with legaleze.
I can't understand the US Patent office statement.
And I can't really understand the argument here.
There was a guy who could make glass flowers
like no-one else.  They were beautiful.  People
wanted him to patent it so they could find out
how he did it.  He didn't patent it.  It increased
the value of his work before and after he died.
So, the moral is, don't patent stuff that can't
be reverse engineered, it doesn't do you any
good.
