Apple is going full steam ahead. Yep full steam ahead and the stock is dropping like a rock. 2 major firms upgrade this week and all that is going on is selling. Analysts are so transparent.

it's a cultural secular cycle. the stores, the gear and the following is growing enormously. lead by steve. it is this fact that prevented aapl from breaking the 190's following wwdc, imo. looking pass recent events, aapl has plan to get even more families into stores this july with scheduled children camps where mac genius will educate tweens and teens the benefits of macbooks and macware. while most public schools have aapl gear already, they are not using all the fun stuff that the stores are stock with. parents will get the idea that imacs and macbooks are needed for their kids and the software are needed for the whole family. along the way, iphone 3g will be sold alongside all the new macs. recently, i got into serious indy style hd movie making and purchased a sony xdcam-ex "eng" level camera, the pmw-ex1. along with it we bought the industry standard film making software suite which is the $1299 final cut studio 2 from aapl. naturally, it does not stop there and many more aapl related gear and software came next. in the area of indy films, the current generation of artists are mostly using aapl stuff for everything from audio mixing to final color work on their macbook pros and 8 cores mac pros. mac geniuses at the stores are gen x and y that use aapl gear for their work and are educating the next wave of aapl users for school, work and play. this is what these summer camps will accomplish and the increased traffic can only mean more iphones and ipods leaving along with those macbooks pros and airs. paul
