Not our company any more

[chopper]

When Ducati started building bikes for the masses ... a friend of mine said, after we'd seen the 749 and other Albatrosses of Doom "Hey, it's no longer just ours any more."

I think this is the new way I will think about Apple.

[GuyGene]

Unfortunately, I kind of feel that way too.

Like my wife just said, "everything seems to be about the iPhone now like nothing else from Apple matters".

If only we could just convince them to spin off Macs into a separate company...
Or to license Hackintosh.
Linux just keeps looking better and better compared to the clown car circus of Microsoft/Apple with a little Google thrown in.

We need to go back to the good ol' days of Steve promising us 3GHz PPC chips next year.

Agreed. I'm still getting good mileage out of my Early 2008 MacPro. When that dies ...

I don't know

But, 'appliance' Macs are not my ideal choice.

LOL, so true!

I was just thinking that at this point, it would actually make quite a bit of sense for Apple to license MacOS to someone like Dell, or HP. They're making money, but they're not gaining any ground off of Macs. It's a declining market. Why not steal some thunder from Microsoft and expand the market?

Macs have an ENORMOUS profit margin. Apple will keep making them until we stop buying them and they won't just hand that moeny to the competition by licensing the OS.

Now spinning the Mac division off might be interesting...
