Hi Greg.: maybe AAPL software is discounted to sell hardware ? AAPL's 1997 hardware rebates and its refusal to predict profitability could signal a effort to recover market share . As both a Hardware and OS Software company AAPL has leverage to forsake margins on one element to entice a combined profitable purchase . AAPL encourages QuickTime developer kit sales , training etc.: quicktime.apple.com Netscape grew its market by giving its browser away to seed a sale for its profitable network software and AAPL has also has hardware profit opportunities . You present a valid question and I wish I had a more verifiable answer . Jim K.
