You are obviously unhappy. You have many doubts. If I were you, I would sell any stock in Apple. Obviously, according to you, bad things are around the corner. Of course, if one waits long enough, there are bad things around the corner. But tell me, how do you have the pulse of the Apple users to make the statement that Apple users are unhappy. How do you know that Apple land was happier in 87, 90, and 94? Graphs of historical performance, according to you, show local peaks 6 months after these events. I assume the introduction of new models. Firstly, what do you mean by local peaks. Are the peaks in your locale different than the peaks in my locale. What I think you are saying is the stock price tends to peak 6 months to a year after introduction of new computer models-according to you. If this is the case and you are very unhappy, get a divorce.

I'm enjoying all these posts and thanks to everyone for the reports on both Mac history and how they feel the current state of the Mac sits with the professional users. I have to say, life doesn't seem so bad to me. In fact, if I was a heavy Photoshop user I'd think life has never been better thanks to Altivec. Of course a year ago we didn't have AirPort networks or beautiful non-gaudy desktops (thumbs down on the B&W design).The delays in OS X and the low mhz of the G4 and the gripes about OS 9 are legit, but should be rectified soon. And from a consumer side, things are way better than 1998. Three tiers of iMacs, better prices, and if you want to play games or edit video, the Mac has never been better. <<Actually, my point was more just that user sentiment tends to lead stock price.>> Actually, AAPL's all-time high before this year was due to very strong buyout rumors, not necessarily customer satisfaction.
