Dear Mr. Lynch Following information is from a Friend of Lynch and in no way represents his actual opinions: I think that your opinions are based on sound financial information. However, other aspects of Apples strategies are not as sound. Marketing, is the answer, since we all know even those of us who are stanch PC users that apples operating system is the superior one, hence windows 95. However, if apple does not improve how it gets his systems out to the public, no matter who nor how much money they have will sustain the company for ever. My suggestion is to promote their strong points (IE graphic design capabilities) to companies both big and small. With more and more companies access to color printer, copies and the like, my guess is that all companies big and small could use a mac for in-house graphic design projects, like company news letters, flyers and advertising. This would get the apple product into perhaps a wider variety of users. Who now are familiar with windows 95 and will not find the apple operating system as confusing. Hey, Kev thanks for letting me speak out..to me it sounds as if your passion comes from a your deep commitment to the apple product rather than from your practical side. We saw what happens when passion rather than knowledge is used in making picks in the market. I was wrong yesterday, when we had our discussion in my office. I apologize for being such a bull headed individual...I miss you and love you and all your ideas.. Hopefully you will accept my apologies and we can continue investing in our future...together. I will await your call on these ideas..If a call is not possible than email will work. Happy investing... BHJ |
