Apple is going to lose market share due to the fact that as the 0bamaconomy continues to destroy wealth at MACH-speed, more and more people, especially younger, college-aged kids, in the market to purchase new machines, will not be able to afford new Mac’s, so they will go with a laptop running Windows7 instead.

You can get a decent laptop running Win7 for $700-$1200 right now, if not cheaper.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine used his entire tax refund this past summer to purchase a Mac for $3500 and then two weeks later he was bouncing checks and asking me if I could loan him $500.

And I did loan him the $500 and he paid me back a month later. It’s a good thing (for me) he gets SSD otherwise I don’t know how I would have ever gotten paid back.

You should become a satire writer.

Did you see the story where Apples profits were astronomical despite the economy?

I’d say folks are buying quality while they still can.
