ComputerWare/Elite Chain Throws In The Towel

An anonymous reader writes "ComputerWare, a ComputerLand-like chain of stores specializing in Apple computers, went out of business in 2001. Thinking he sees an opportunity for expansion, the guy who owns Elite Computers, the long-time independent Apple computer store literally across the street from Apple HQ in Cupertino, bought the CW name and leased and reopened the SF Bay Area stores as 'ComputerWare by Elite Computers.' In 2003, Mr. Elite realized the reason the original ComputerWare owners got out -- Apple's engaging in 'unfair competition' -- and announced he is closing the chain along with his original store."

Apple may not have a monopoly on desktops, but they do have a monopoly on Apple products.

Really? Somebody should do something about this. I mean, it's not like Dell has a monopoly on Dell computers or anything. er, wait...
