So you never see a new movie? You just watch your old ones over and over because "they get the job done"? My point was talking about entertainment, not work, and I was saying that as the computer migrates more towards entertainment than work, for the average person, they'll want something that works better in that space. That space is becoming digital entertainment: movies, music, television, the Internet, communications. In this space Apple has been a disruptor with iTunes and iPods. If it can do the same thing with movies and TV as it did with music then they're going to sell a lot of Macs. (Look for Apple TV's debut soon!) A futurist would add that that seems to be coinciding with former desktop applications moving to the network making the need for a desktop fat client less and less. So, in the future, your average consumer will want a computer to meet their entertainment needs first and their work needs second (since work provides that). Apple is moving to be the manufacturer of that consumer box. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
