Murray,

>>Jeez Norm...I wonder just what kind of business model management used for the NeXT computer?

Where can I buy a NeXT computer? Plenty of great ideas in a box but it proved that people weren't willing to pay the real cost of a high-end machine nor were developer's willing to write software for such a small number of users.

>>C'mon Norm, ineptness can be found wherever you look. Right? Let's talk about why Apple is still taking it in the drawers. Not about business models.

Somehow I think a poor business model in the Past has contributed greatly to their current problems and is an inescapable topic when discussing their past mistakes.

Would you agree that Apple's #1 issue is marketshare? They have plenty of cash; they have a talented workforce; they have (IMO) better systems in general -- yet, they are sweating out a recovery. Great products alone do not make a company viable. The sooner Apple can get 10+ million iMacs out in the world the sooner we will get those killer professional models and software that we have been waiting for.

Cheers,

Norm
