“Apple has never been a company that sold their computers on the cheap”..
Well here in the Netherlands they do. We can buy iMac’s at the Dynabyte, witch is a really mainstream computer store, for less than the price at the Premiums Reseller. And at the Mediamarket, a discounter, there’s a serious Apple corner, with -still- the ordinary prices. But Apple goes mainstream here in Holland thats for sure.

Lets wait for the day that MS starts a ‘Think different’ campaign.

Anyone who owns APPL stock does so because they believe in the company, not any particular person at the company. While Jobs may be a driving force, he isn’t the only one at the company making decisions. I’ve owned the stock for many years and have no intention of selling it just because of some silly analyst saying that I should.

Where is Apple going in the future? Probably to #1 in the sales arena, because they have the only double play computer available: The best of the Mac, and if you really need to run that Windows stuff, you can do that too, and better than any current Windows machine out there.

A new ‘Book with the quad core processor (announced, due 3rd Q this year) would put Apple over the top, and stuffed with 4GB of ram wold make for a fine machine for anyone, anywhere.

Snow Leopard will have better integration for iCal and Mail with Exchange, and that can drive sales based on the number of people who just need email, calendar, and Office. That covers a lot of the executive suite. And carrying a Mac says “I’m smart and run a cool company.”

This irritates the hell out of me every time it happens. I have a large investment in Apple, when I see results like Apple posted yesterday I’m downright giddy. How anyone could take something negative away from what was reported yesterday is beyond me. Everything was better than projected, BUT Apple backed off on their 4th Quarter earning projections, so everyone starts selling their stock. More proof that the Stock Market is anything but logical. Apple may be backing off of their projections, but odds are they’ll exceed the original projections when the 4th Quarter numbers are actually released – IN 3 MONTHS!

In the mean time I’ll do exactly what I always do when I see the stock prices of a great company like Apple tumble – I’ll be buying more of it! LOTS MORE!
