Some nervous Microsoft clone will be here in no time, ripping Apple. If you are so secure in your world dominance, they why bother with little ole Apple?

Apple's a joke, they only appeal to the pony-tailed and sandal wearing Berkeley crowd.

Really? So President Bush and Rush Limbaugh meet that description? They must, because they're both avid Mac users.

Let's see here. FIVE MILES of cable? That's 26,400 feet of cable between 40 computers and a rack of servers, all supposedly in one room. I assume these 36 systems take more than one rack, but let's do some math here.
Half of the cable is fiber, so that's 13,200 feet. Assuming that each server and computer is connecting to a router or switch, and each device is equidistant from the central point, that's about 174 feet per connection! And the servers are most likely stacked on top of one another...
That's one heck of a big booth!

Then why did Microsoft purchase $150 million of Apple stock back in 1997 and helped revitalize the company? To gain access to Apple's patent portfolio and avoid lawsuits. It was the best investment Microsoft ever made.

So you are saying that the $150 mill investment saved the company even though Apple had around $3 billion in the bank at the time?

Then why did Microsoft purchase $150 million of Apple stock back in 1997 and helped revitalize the company? Because it was part of a undisclosed copyright lawsuit settlement . . . and included agreements on permitting Microsoft sharing certain Apple copyrights for a three year period.
