Great points; I think you're exactly right. Mr. Jobs has always been inclined to build for the home market rather than the corporate market which is the top reason he lost the corporate market. That being said, should he care? People have been preaching that the next big thing in computers will be the consumer market and "convergence". If that's the case, Mr. Jobs may be in the exact right place to grow if that happens. His products are already more about lifestyle than business. Slow and steady may win the race. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159740 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
