Eric, What a flaming fool you are. You seem to take an oblique side to my comments and put words and inten where I do not intedn them to be. That means those intents are internal, from you. If Apple has made an NC and has invested a lot in it and it bombs that is the NC losses I speak of. If the NC bombs where will Apple place those losses?. They make cancel the project and only incur R & D losses. They might make 200,000 NC boxes, sell 40,000 and scrap or convert 160,000 to Mac boxes(if they can). That is look forward path that Jobs should be on now. I expect him to cancel the NC quite soon to cut those losses. Already many are canning Wintel NC. The easy way to can the NC is to make it a dual app box(NC or full APple box, with perhaps a smaller case?) so there is a default path if indeed it does not sell well. Most comments I make are akin to a coaches comments spurring you onwards. Does that work? Will any comment I or you ever make it to Jobs/Apples ears?, will any of those ideas be acted on? Any forward looking company should be open to ideas from any source. Some are critical, and some are not, some are right and some are not. Managements Job is to find the ideas that make the company progress from any source. An Apple glee club may not be a good source. A bunch who toe the company line and never say a varying thing. What goes on your site?, only things you have personally approved and vetted? So that site is limited by your visions and your insights?. Or can the anyone post there, could I for instance? It provides info for Apple investors and Mac users, but just what you know, think, and define. For some reason you have cast me as some ogre who is against Apple. So get off it already, I am not against Apple, or Jobs, just critical and analytical(not anal, please) And my number came from my own head, after I looked at the consnesus and thought" I bet the OS sales and the new OS induced sales will hit the bottom line very positively, and in addition the cuts are in prior reporting intervals.
