A fad... 33 years a fad... 25 years a Macintosh Fad... 8 years an iPod fad... 8 years an OSX fad... two years an iPhone fad...
This is where your predictions fail, Dennis. Apple is NOT a fad nor is it a luxury brand. Apple provides value and functionality, and most of all, usability for the money they charge for their products.

Dell Small Business - Dell Vostro 220 Mini Tower with Intel Dual-Core, 2GB Memory, 160GB HD, DVD-ROM, plus 23" Samsung 1080p LCD Monitor for $386.10 plus Shipping! LINK
To the above computer I would add Vista home premium ($29) and a 250gb hard drive ($15). So make that $430 not including tax or shipping. So I get a good solid computer and big honking LCD monitor. I get a free Windows7 upgrade too which really lets that computer run faster
The above website has computer deals every day
Apple is vastly over priced compared to this Dell deal @$430
It will come as a shock to you but that Dell Vostro is more than enough computer for 85% of buyers. They don't need Apple though you may need Apple. Get it? They are not you and you are not them
Most (not all!) Apple laptop buyers are just surfing the internet and doing light “Office” work like word processing and Quick Books. They can do that with a 50% cheaper Windows7 laptop
Apple has two big money makers. iPhone and laptops especially its high end laptops. But the average Joe who needs a solid 15.4 in laptop for $400 or less? There are plenty out there made by solid companies such as Toshiba, Dell, HP, Acer etc. I see those deals every week. My advice to such buyers is to only buy one with Vista Home Premium so they can get the free Windows7 upgrade
And if the consumer has $400-$600 to spend he can do even better. And any laptop with Vista Home Premium gets a free upgrade to Windows7
Windows7 runs great on 2Gb memory. This is exactly what my laptop has and a weak dual core processor
