<<Besides, the majority of people using Windows machines have someone setting it up for them, so the ease-of-use issue is really moot on the Windows platform.>>
Thanks for making my point for me.
<<Those machines have never exactly been plug-and-play.>>
Funny, everything that I have "plugged in" thus far has "played" just fine. Something Apple users just can't stand to hear.
<<It's the typical rhetoric that has enabled Apple to stick around in the midst of naysayers such as yourself.>>
Most companies are not content with "just sticking around". Actions
speak louder than words Mark.
<<How many other techs have ganked their earnings this badly recently?>>
Thanks again, the answer: Few as bad as Apple.
<<What is 'truth,' Bob? How do 'facts' have any bearing on subjective things like user satisfaction?>>
Yes, now convince the board. I've worked on '95s, Macs, and Unix's and have no problem with '95's. That's just the way it is Mark....sorry.
<<You know they get beat up just as much when they do, so comparing a company that's posted a loss that's the result of a recent earnings announcement to a company that's posting a loss just because the techs are getting hit doesn't make a lot of sense.>>
Uh...yeah...I guess. <shaking head> Bottom line, Apple is leading in today's loss ratio...Live with it.
Intel down .024%
Compaq down .0539%
IBM down .039%
Motorola down .029%
Cisco down .025%
Texas Ins. down .023%
Microsoft down .01%
APPLE down .068% -----There is that honest enough for you?
<<It doesn't? To whom does it not matter? To the people who drove and enjoyed driving a Tucker? I bet it mattered to them.>>
Doubtful, as they all drive Fords today no doubt!
Enjoy yourself.
