Several analysts have come out with targets over $200, which before this last quarter seemed a bit rosy

I didn't think it was Rosy. And I predicted $200 a couple of years ago. But I thought then that my prediction was conservative.

Think about this:

It used to be that if you went to a website that was written using DirectX (or whatever proprietary Microsoft code that bad coders use), it used to be that if you were on a Mac it was too bad for you.

So people bought Windows. Because they had to.

Now, with Macs approaching 10% all those sites with proprietary code are looking like a pretty stupid idea. All the coders who promised great things to Tech stupid execs are looking pretty stupid.

I bet Lizzie knows quite a few.

If Macs hit 10 or 15 or 20% these sites are going to be under increasing pressure to entirely rewrite their code the way it should have been written - open source - open standards.

OUCH! EXPENSIVE! Time consuming!

The more sites that ARE rewritten, the less people will need Windows, the more will buy Macs.

More and more businesses will be reluctant to use that stupid proprietary code.

Snowball. Its happening now.

Money in the bank. I can see Apple getting a 30% share in the USA. Why not? General Motors did it.

30% is still a long way to go. Plenty of profit left in holding Apple stock.
