And once upon a time there were more than three PC graphics card makers. The paranoid schizo US really fucked up scientific and technological progress.
There also were more than two PC platforms (and we barely have two now; Apple was pretty close to going away too). I miss being the Atari ST guy in a circle of people who all had different types of computers. It didn’t last very long but it was way more fun.
