We're probably all stockholders in one company or another. As a  
stockholder of Apple I sure want them to sell more of the Macbook  
Airs. Don't think that a computer will make an executive better, or  
worse. It's only a tool.

You have to get away from your centrist view that if you don't like  
something it's simply not worth having, and whoever buys it must do so  
for some lack of intellectual shortcoming. Do you understand that  
you're insulting other people or do you not care?

If a CEO is squandering the company's assets, let the board handle  
that. They are closer to the situation than any outsider. A few  
Macbook Airs surely won't impact dividends or the stock price. And if  
you think that a CEO bought a Macbook Air then sell the stock in that  
company.

There are more things in life to worry about than what somebody else  
is buying. Let's worry about Mac problems and help each other out  
where possible.
