Is not lack of loyalty is Mac having a far greater lifespan.

I haven't seen this much spinning on the facts outside of an election year.

there are more MacOS users than Win95ers.

Comparing apples and oranges. Win95 is the latest version of the MS-DOS line of operating systems. Comparing Mac OS and Win95 might give some assurance to the unlucky folks that were caught holding this stock, but it is meaningless.

Now let us compare user figures for the latest version of each these two OSes:

Win95 sold more copies the first 48 hours than MacOS 8.0 has yet to sell.

I'm buying puts first thing Monday.

Which illustrates perfectly how severely delussional some Apple followers are. I called this stock down all the way from $40 to $13, but in soup's little fantasy-world, Apple has done great all this years. In his world of fairies, of loyal customers and advanced operating systems that are not upgraded in eight years, I'm a contrarian indicator. I'm sure you have plenty of money on that World.

On the real one, which is the one the rest of us inhabit, I was bearish and you were bullish. The stock moved from $40 to $13.

Admitting your error seems to be above you....
