If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
18,000,000 + OS X Macs sold in the last 3.75 fiscal years... plus the number of legacy Macs that are still running...
My goodness what an obscure platform...
I contributed. I bought my wife a MacBook Pro 17 incher in April.
Heck, I’m fixin’ to buy our THIRD Mac in less than a year.
My iMac, daughter’s MacBook and the wife’s gettin’ a MINI.
Our XP box will be cleaned and given to niece or nephew and our HP laptop will be there to collect dust.
I think I’ve convinced my SisInLaw to get an iMac for Christmas...when they get broadband at their new house.
Gotta love the iMac!
YOUR GONNA LOVE THIS...
I’M SETTING HERE RUNNING AN OLD POWERBOOK G4... 10.4.10. THE THING WAS GETTING A TAD CRANKY AND TOOK IT TO A PLACE THAT DID MACS IN KIEV. THEY TOOK THE THING DOWN... FOUND THE MAGNETIC SWITCH THAT ACTIVATES THE SLEEP MODE WAS FAULTY AND PUT THE SUCKER BACK TOGETHER. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY ASKED IF I HAD PETS IN THE HOUSE BACK IN THE US AND IF ONE WAS WHITEISH BLOND. I SAID YES AND THEY SHOWED ME THE HAIR THAT CAME OUT OF THE COMPUTER. MISS QUEENIE... HALF DOC AND HALF TERRIER HAD POLLUTED THE LAP TOP. RUNNING LIKE A NEW ONE. WISH I COULD COME UP WITH A VALID REASON TO BUY A NEW ONE.
BEST!
Watch it buddy...I used to own apple stock :(
In somewhat related news, my cell phone died today: a two year old RAZR, its left hinge came loose and its display no longer works. I desperately want an iPhone, but I can’t afford it or the rate plan. Looks like I’m screwed...
Last AAPL trade in the after-market was over $150, surpassing Mondays all-time high by around $5.
No further comment needed.
I wondered if anyone was going to notice their profit margin is higher than Exxon’s. ;)
Looks like Apple Inc. stock will open tomorrow almost 13 points above it’s closing price today. The after-hours price right now is 150.18. Closing price was 137.26. Tomorrow should be most interesting!!
Does Exxon still own Texas free and clear...
Did you catch Oppenheimer’s remark about “product transition I can’t get into”?
I can’t tell you how happy I am, I bought AAPL at $26,(hehe)
Crap, we bought when it was all the way up to $86...
Just before it split ;^)
