Apple has never been the lowest-common denominator, bargain-rate brand. They make high-end and mid-high-end gear for people who care more about things that work right and are willing to pay for that.
That's the profit motive, done right. Good for Apple.
I just wish I had some of their stock... damn. *sigh*
Hahahahaha...I know. I convinced my wife years back to buy Apple when it was $12 a share...heh, she sold it when it got to $25!
I didn’t find out until later when the stock got up around $50 and I commented on how great that was and she said she had sold it at $25...well, I couldn’t complain. In general, that stuff doesn’t interest me, and she is good at it.
I just had an emotional tie to it, liked saying I had a stake in a company whose product I really liked, but to her, it was just stock. Better that way...:)
I just bought some more last week ;-)
