[Ti] Market Share: 2.3% ...coupled with the loss

[Trevor J. Hutley]

 From a business point of view, I repeat a quote that I quoted to an 
entrepreneur this morning:
"it is cash, not accounting profit, that adds value to a company".
With $4 bn cash at the bank, Apple is in good shape.  Even in an 
outstanding position.
They are well able to invest in R&D,new technology, new products, 
fantastic industrial design and materials, brand strengthening, 
marketing  ... and if that, combined with their vision, drive, style 
does not make them into a continuing great company, I wonder what 
could.

Maybe I am so optimistic because last night I watched the three 
Quicktime movies about the new Powerbooks....

I still remain incredibly happy with my (2-year old model) Ti-500, 
which still seems way ahead of any laptop I have seen in use, and it 
still turns heads wherever I slip it out of my briefcase, open it and 
start working in 1 second.   When PC users see my Virtual PC (601) 
start up in 8 seconds, their mind is boggled.

Have a good weekend, from sunny Geneva
