sleaz, I think ur car is great. been using Macs for 10 years? me too.
that said, you still havent told me what fundamentals Apple has that will keep it in business. For that matter, the majority of what I've read in this thread has pointed out everything but. I know that we'd have no palms and pocket PCs were it not for the newton. I am also aware of apple's position on the edge of the innovation curve. Super! But that doesnt translate into ISPs replacing their DELLs and Compaqs w slikkassX11s. It doesnt translate into schools buying more iMacs - in fact MS is muscling its way into the education market for the past couple. the fact that apples 866Meg procs can asswup any 1.5 gig Pentium 4 is great news to me but how does that afftect the fact that dell desktops sell for $500 and laptops $900 - and ultimately which box a starving ass college student is going to blow a chunk of her student loan on?
'but there is a reason I drive the S4.' well wtf is it? and do enough
folks share ur POV to keep that car in production? Actually, I didnt even know they sold those in the US. thte first time I heard S-anything was in Ronin when main man ordered the S8. Maybe this is the wrong line of argument...Tell me something plausible like, Apple can sustain itself nicely selling to design professionals - and that that's all they need -while slowly penetrating the geek market ... something I can sink my teeth in to. Im very aware of how great and forward-looking apple is, I just want to know how that innovation will result in their success and survival.
audi's are great great cars btw, the only euro car Id ever own. but I'll take a WRX - or anything subaru makes - anyday over any vehicle. that's just me.
