> hardware, and become a proper OS company.

No joke. This is why Apple got screwed by MS to begin with. After all these
years, you'd think Steve would try to make a comeback. The dialog in Pirates
of Silicon Valley went something like... (badly paraphrased)

STEVE rants: Apple's operating system is better than Windows!

BILL calmly responds: Don't you get it? It doesn't matter. We won.

I wish I could remember this accurately. The dialogue was so choice. Anyway,
the moral of the story is that, despite Steve's genius, his pride is his
Achilles' heel. If apple ran OSX on an Intel box, they'd pull Windows users
in by the droves. There's so much more money in software than in hardware.
Duh!

Hey, maybe Apple could strike up an OS licensing deal with Walmart (sp?) to
jump start their Intel/Athlon domination. [reference to Lindows OS] Ha, ha!

The only way I'd be more sympathetic to Apple is if the software AND the
hardware were superior. That would justify the hardware price contrast.

I love Apple; I can't believe I'm saying these things. Sorry Igor, sounds
like you (and I'm sure others) are growing weary of this subject. I can't
help myself. It has really peaked my curiosity. -Jer
