True!

Apple shot themselves in the foot many years ago when they
refused to allow other manufacturers to make Mac clones.

Probably, but I believe an even bigger reason they shot themselves in
the foot was that they forgot what they learned with the Apple II
series...namely, open architecture, expansion slots and a *ton* of third
party hardware to fit those slots.

When the first few iterations of the Mac came out...closed architecture
and *no* expansion slots. It was their way or the highway.

IBM, when they first got in the PC business, (wisely) -did- provide
expansion slots and open architecture.
