A product's design can be more
valuable than the product itself. With the

1970s, the computer-manufacturing
sector, an industry then dominated by
those giants able to afford incredibly

equally expensive products, suddenly
found its brightest lights shining in the
garages of clever engineers.

Based on the information given above, which of the following was an advantage possessed by large computer manufacturers prior to the emergence of small computer-makers?

Their ability to produce expensive products

The substantial resources at their disposal

Their ability to adapt quickly to changes in the computer industry

The high quality computers they were able to produce

Their development of the earliest personal computer prototypes
