You benefit from them too. Apple is a far stronger company due to the iPod and iPhone. This diversification makes it far less likely that a change in market conditions would cause the demise of the computer you love. Apple tried to diversify before with products like the Newton PDA and Apple Camera, but these did not succeed. I'm glad they kept trying to diversify. Dell and other computer makers tried to diversify too, but were not successful. This may cost them their futures. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
