who cares: People have to have too much money to spend to buy AAPL. When times are tough and getting tougher, people will buy the $500 PC and suffer with Windows 98se, rather than pay $1,500 for a Mac. An iMac with monitor costs $800-1300. That is an extremely competitive price. I actually completely agree w/ you on AAPL's past, but disagree w/ you on their future. I would suggest you take a close look at OS X. It is a very, very powerful, stable, scalable OS, since it has UNIX at its core. Many, many technologists have waited for this day, and now it is here. IMO, the best time to buy a company is when everyone else thinks they are a goner, while in fact the company is creating break-through products. At a minimum, AAPL will always survive quite well on their millions of AAPL fans. 5% of the market is still enough to make lots of money... especially when they make the OS and the hardware. Wintel must compete w/ hundreds of other Wintel competitors. OS X devotees have only one company to buy from: AAPL. As far as wireless home, of course all that is available... IBM is quite big into that. But I'm not talking about controlling lighting, etc... I'm talking about completely new products. - Zen
