"However, the marketing power of Apple is unbelievable!! And they know how to make their products look sexy, if you will."

Apple markets to the 5% of the PC buying public who will pay extra for "being different." My father won't buy a PC because he "thinks" Apple is easier to use yet his three sons all have regular Window's PCs and we can't help him do anything... but he keeps more powerful PCs to load web pages and read emails faster.

Get a hit with iPods that lead to a 20% increase in PC sales and you might think, they are wonderful until you look and see they've gone from 5 to 6% of the market... or numbers in those ballparks.
