Oh yeah, and on industry averages and stuff, if you don't own any market share then you sell five computers you've just done five times the industry average.

Or something close that. Words to that effect.

If the Mac ever became a big hit with the public, Steve Jobs would keel over in disgust. Macs are designed by a self-identified elitist for self-identified elitists.

And back in reality they're marketed to the average guy who's getting fed up with Windows.

Five computers. . . how cute. . . as well as dismissive and ignorant.

How does 6,160,000 Macs sold in 2006 strike you? Growth 4th calendar quarter over quarter growth for Macs of 31.8% according to Gartner... while the overall PC market barely eked out 5.6%. Apple GAINED market share... which means that PCs LOST market share.

Macs are designed by a self-identified elitist for self-identified elitists.

Not content to dismiss the Mac as irrelevant, you then proceed to insult all Mac users... nice of you. Really makes you look intelligent and sensible... do you think? I don't.
