You were saying ...

Apple market share after a massive 30 years of selling computers still remains in the “others” category, still firmly under Toshiba's sales.

You know... since I got the Macintosh back in 1984, I remember looking at that IBM model way back then... boy am I sure glad I didn't get that one. LOL ...

That was when IBM first came out with a desktop model and Apple came out a bit later with the Macintosh. Who would have thought that IBM would give up the ghost on that and Apple Computer would still be around.

But, there it is... still cranking out those Macintosh models, getting more customers all the time, having a great operating system, the Mac OS X and no virus problems.

And talk about the geeks in the Windows world flocking over to the Mac OS X... boy are they doing it. They love getting under the hood of that UNIX that is operating behind the scenes in Macintosh. But, the average Joe that gets the Macintosh doesn't have to deal with it at all.

Those former Windows users can still use some of their old Windows programs, if they want, right on their new Macintosh computers and work right with the Mac OS X, side-by-side, with Windows. Of course, after a while they just get rid of the Windows stuff... there's no use in keeping on using that crapware after too long of a time.

And talk about those Windows people finding out more about the Macintosh, with the iPod and the iTunes store and music and the iPhone and now the iPad -- it just never quits... more Windows users finding out what kinds of good products that Apple sells. That's been drawing a lot of Windows users over to the computer, too.

Plus the fact that when developers do develop for the iPhone and the iPad (all those over 100,000 apps that they've got) they do so on the Macintosh computer. It's no wonder that the Windows people are flocking over in droves...

Sorry to disappint you but Apple Macintosh has been here for over 25 years and is well on its way to another 25 years, with a ton of other products to go along with it... :-)

And after 30 years of nonstop effort, Apple is still stuck t under 4% market share.




Apple doesn't even make it to the charts. They are still under "others". Windows PC's totally rule.
