RE: "I wouldn't want to be in the "PC business"."

Apple started out making toys.

Apple was actually the first to bring a truly "Personal" Computer to market and then IBM later brought legitimacy to "Personal" Computers with the IBM PC. I don't miss my VT100 at all... I just emulate it on my 'toy' Mac with the built-in in emulator:



But we've come full circle. While many PC companies have come and gone, Apple is still around. There's hardly anything that can be done a PC that cannot be done on a Mac.... even if that means running Windows on the Mac on those very few occasions for software that isn't ported to Mac.... like Visio which I run now and then.

Apple is hardly just a 'toy' maker today but some folks like to believe that's the case. And that's fine.
