   Hey, Apple has an impressive sales strategy - go
   for the elite snobs and wannabes. Coordinated
   designer PCs/Phones/Etc. It WORKS.

   If you don't have "i-Everything" then you're just
   trailer trash !  :-)

   Declines in Linux/Unix ... I suspect it relates to
   a pair of things - ignorant i-Everything owning
   pointy-haired bosses AND a dip in the number of
   real systems/programming people. Complicated stuff ?
   Hey, Apple/M$/Chat have an online solution for you,
   so why bother to solve it yourself ???

   Ever tried to grow a turnip or little patch of corn ?
   Butchered a pig yourself ? Fewer and fewer have a
   CLUE about such stuff. Food comes from the MARKET
   after all, Harry Potter waves his wand. It's all
   total dependence on the tech/infrastructure pyramid.

   Vlad and Xi have PLANS for all that .....
