You are making the same mistake as the article author. You and the author want to impose the notion that market share is paramount -- it isn't. Apple is proof that it isn't. At Apple, doing something well is paramount. Apple demonstrates that doing something well can be very profitable and Apple's stockholders are very happy with their returns. (Compare Apple's stellar share price performance to Microsoft's poor showing.) I'm glad I don't have to live in such a market-share driven world where everything must be bought at Walmart -- cheaply-made products that quickly wear out while poisoning you. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
