I don't think you or I will live long enough to see the 'year

Not
going to happen.

But the 'year of the Mac' has already happened in the upscale
tech
market with consumers with a few bucks.



Yes, I am sure many are heroes in their own mind, have saved the
world,
dominate the markets ... and it would be evil to destroy their

Still, one must keep a foot in reality ...

In business, the reality is growing your sales and profits. In
that,
it
has been the year of the Mac for quite awhile now. You are free
to
talk
about what volumes of sales are out there in wintel/linux world,
but
that
is being done at pathetic profit levels.

Overall, desktop sales on all platforms is down as more go to
laptops.
Primarily because laptops now have enough performance for almost
all
applications and the prices are down quite a bit. Heck for all
the
bitching about Apple's prices, laptops with similar
specifications
and
build quality are all pretty much the same in cost.

Apple just doesn't do cheap laptops.

Which is why Apple sells only a small fraction of the number of
laptops
sold. PC dominates over Mac even in the laptop market


But Apple makes most of the profit...

:-)

Shows they overprice their goods....

Since more and more people are buying them, how does it show that?


Well, let's see....they make more profit from fewer sales than
others......

Gee, sounds like overpriced products to me.

Not exactly a positive thing from the view point of anyone looking at
buying
their products.

I think people look at what they actually get--a computer that works
better for them--and then they look at what the price represents in
terms of cost per day and they realize that the differential is well
worth it.

:-)\


And then you have a bunch more people that decide, that the extra price
really isn't worth it.


Yup. That's true. But most of them make that decision blindly; never
having actually used a Mac.

I've worked with, supported, sold, worked with, sold, and supported Macs
since about 1985. In all that time, of the people who've switched from
PCs to Macs, only one wanted to go back.


And how many didn't switch?
