Beta is alive and well in Asia. I have family in Japan, and I bought a couple Beta
machines in addition to my two VHS ones. The betas are FAR

superior with many more
features. For example, on most VHS machines, when you hit slow-motion or freeze a
frame, you get imperfections in the images and/or choppy movement. With my beta, I
can "scroll" through frames fluidly and freeze frames with snapshot quality.

This proves my point. Superior product that did not do well in the US.

I would like to see Apple swallow its pride and begin selling Intel-based PCs with the
Apple brand name. There is a ton of business out there that Apple could carve a slice
from.

They just need to make the "PC" card less expensive or make it standard. They use an Intel chip on them.

If that happened, AAPL would be at $120 by year's end, without the need for any reverse splits.

But brand name isn't everything (e.g., Pan Am).

By the way, Steve Ballmer of MSFT said he'd turn AAPL into a PC box maker if he ran the company.
