Macs do not dominate the Aerospace business! I work in Aerospace and none of the companies use Mac's computers on a large scale. They may have some scattered here and there but PC's dominate by far. Mac's may be good for young kids but PC's are used by almost every major business and most computer literate adults. Maybe you need to grow up and stop the name calling. Just because somebody is not pro-Apple doesn't give you the right to trash talk to them. It is people like you that should be kicked off SI. We are here to give opinions not cheerlead a company. My opinion is that my experience with Mac's has been terrible. I prefer PC's but that doesn't mean I won't invest in Apple. I think they have short term potential before they start digging their own grave in a couple years. If the people that run SI see the comment you made when you told that guy to go home and play with himself you WILL be kicked off SI!

Market sectors where Macs dominate/have significant market share include aerospace, biotech, advertising, film/video/music production, web site design in addition to better known areas as education and pre-press. These are high-end technology buyers that value performance, reliability and ease of use -- and could care less about what the general public thinks. They are AAPL's core market and greatest asset. Ah, another Mac advocate. I love Macs! I'm typing this on a Power Mac 7600/120 (clocked to ~145 MHz). If I may add, Macs have a great following in the programming sector (it's kind of ironic that so much PC-only software was actually programmed on a Macintosh!). My first Mac was a Performa 6115CD, which I got in May of 1995. Still works great! I do all my work on my Mac, and 85% percent of the games I play are played on the Mac. If your wondering about the change of mind, I'm Mr. Ku's son (the account is in my name, BTW). I must say, it's a muted battle to keep Macs in the house!
