Because Apple's resurgence is directly related to THEIR change in marketing philosophy. Trying to "compete" with Windows was killing Apple. They have proved that by abandoning that and becoming the great innovator that made Apple great to begin with is a successful business model. This IS WORKING for Apple; Apple tried competing with other PCs and in the 2 years prior to Job's return, they lost over a BILLION dollars. Why is THAT so difficult to accept? -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
