I see three ways up for AAPL:

1.- Sell more units.


Duh.

2.- Sell faster units than the competition.

This is of no use. The public does not thirst for fast computers as before. Back in the late 1980s no computer was fast enough for my needs. Since then, even though I'm running a substantially more demanding OS and a lot more applications, I rarely find myself craving for a faster machine.

Niche users, such as graphic designers do need really fast computers. That is but one way in which Apple fills a niche.

3.- Sell products that meet the needs of consumers across multiple platforms.

Meaning?

Herb,

The critical three points you have mentioned have brought Apple into
more competitive and profitable stage, especially the second one,
twice as fast as the competitor's, that is amazing and will give
consumers better choice. It is interesting to see what outcome will
be. 350k or 400k of G3's sales?

Apple is attempting to attack another high near $19.75. Can it break
that? Well, It depends on how the overall market reacts for the rest
of the week. The momentum looks good and the same pattern of 10k
shares sitting on buy side still continued. I wonder who is
accumulating the stock. Bill Jackson?
