I think it is inappropriate to bring Iridium into this discussion. As you don't know my investments, you don't know how much those Iridium shares have cost me.

Service companies are often far more profitable than manufacturers. Microsoft and Iridium are service companies. Apple is a manufacturer in a very tough business: uphill with an "incompatible" system with competitors who think they can make it up in volume when they cut margins to nearly zero.

However, the fact that Apple makes the only decent Operating System out there gives me hope.
