I only see the need for continued growth in Macintosh sales. I see the current product spread as growing market share, albeit incrementally. I see missed opportunities that may be able to accelerate sales growth without eroding margins. I see that Apple has reached a point in their growth vector where inaction in this area will lead to a plateau.2nd Paragraph: Now you're talking to sinclap. I'm only saying that they can do better than 3 desktop product lines (form factors).3rd Paragraph: Huh? Windows pre-installed? Dell's price points? I sense a red herring. Or, are you addressing sinclap again? ... No matter. ... I'm in total agreement with Steve Jobs on maintaining high margins and high quality. I haven't suggested any action that would lead to diluting the brand with low quality product, nor would I.
