Apple’s stock will continue to see incredible growth over the next year. I think it could hit $250 over the next 12 months.

Schools and colleges have always been the stronghold of Apple's 4% market share.
They gave them away initially to create a subculture of drones.

It didn't work.

Once the users got loose in the real world they pretty much had to swim with the adults or stay outside looking in...

At the University of Minnesota bookstore, Macs are enshrined in a flashy sales-display area intended to imitate Apple's retail stores, while a handful of Windows laptops at the campus shop are relegated to a back wall.

Just the way things should be! Vanquish those PCs from the Dark Side to the dark corner where they belong!!

I work as an equities trader. Friday my IT guy asked me if I’d like to test a Mac for trading!

Something is changing!

“At Café Mac on St. Paul’s Macalester College campus a recent afternoon,
Macintosh computers reigned supreme.”

Macs are very good computers.

So good that I won’t hold the recommendations of a liberal colony
and alma mater of Kofi Annan against the Macs.

Perhaps it’s only natural that the trust-fund babies at Macalester would only
end up buying Macs.
Maybe they are big on alliteration.

Faculty love the Mac. Used to be it was just the Lib-Arts and Fine-Arts types, but because of the Unix background, the math and sciences people have jumped into Macs in a big way, especially for things like computer modeling. There are tons of Unix math and science apps out there, and most of these people were already Unix proficient anyway.
