If you had been making this argument before November last year, would you have included MP3 in that list of "technologies people had been making money from but which had attracted no submarines"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatel-Lucent_v._Microsoft shows that this sort of argument about "deep pockets" and "so far" shouldn't give Apple much confidence. MP3 was used by a lot of people with deep pockets for quite a while before the submarine surfaced. Gerv
