Jon, Apple portal with custom iMac VPN features?

If I was king, I would set up a special Apple portal site that had VPN like features. You would get a little VirtualFloppyDisk icon on your desktop. To archive or transport a file, drag to the VirtualFloppyDisk icon. Then go wherever you want your file, and log in with your user name and ID. Look in the VFD icon folder- voila. Just like a floppy.

Um, if you need more space, rent by MB per month. Collaborative work? Rent another Virtual floppy and share the password with workmates.

With all those iMacs selling, and all the Bmates (or whatever they are going to be called) that's a lot of exposure to a heap of folk with all the same hardware.

I sure hope no big-money stock gooroo is reading this- I just took a swift 24% gain in a week, now I'm hoping for a pullback. I want those shares back!

Not that AAPL has to enter the "portal" business ala Yahoo or Excite. There are a number of undeveloped "portal" ideas out there...I could tell you a few. However, that would go against an NDA that I have signed.
AAPL is not likely to enter the portal business, I agree. However, nothing is out of the question.
