Perhaps, but if it's just a rhetorical game of words, asking for a clarification of the terms of engagement is a reasonable parry to such an awkwardly pointed thrust, is it not? After all, "computer company" is so broad a term. Apple is really more of a software manufacturing company. The hardware is secondary. It is just a container. If you look at it that way. I guess you could say that any company that develops computers, which Apple does, is a computer company. But then, Dell would not be a computer company under that definition. They only manufacture pre-existing computer designs. Unless you consider molding plastic into different shapes to be part of the development process. I'm sorry. I just didn't see anything to be rhetorical about. It did seem a little philosophical though. Perhaps he was dictating. Herb
