S2, Apple has always fascinated me - the play with Blockbuster is interesting seeing them as another sales/distribution channel. Somehow, schleping to a Blockbuster to load my iPod at a kiosk doesn't cut it for me being a Netflix user, however........ Apple is selling iPods and movies in volume and the B'buster's customer list is worth its weight in gold even if only 30% of the base migrates to iPods. And way back, I remember a conversation at DEC when Jobs and Wosniak came to visit the engineering group - some engineer commented that the Apple PC was a "piece of junk you could build in your garage" - another engineer countered with "and that's our problem". Just when you think you understand what business they are in, Jobs reacts to, or creates another inflection point in the market. Great article, as always, thanks Altair19
