My question still stands if they are diversified out of software what the

They are very diversified within software/media. They bought Great Plains

The same people who complained that the iBooks were too small [and don't
forget the eMate they hated] are lining up to buy the so-called netbooks
that are an inch or two smaller, but with much worse specs. I suspect
that most people who buy the netbooks get them because they're cheap,

Another difference between mac users and seemingly others...or maybe it's
just Tom. For most users it's not about ideaology, it's about what works.
For some, like me, I love my ipod touch and have little to no use for a
netbook. Others may have exactly what they want/need in that form factor.

This is one of the reasons I don't really get this netbook thing. I
wouldn't want one. Of course I don't want an over priced phone either.
I see the iphone as nothing more then an over priced toy. I love my
Macs, but why would I buy one of those $600 things that you still need

iTouch/iPhone are fine machines, Tom, but they are emphatically NOT
netbooks. Until you can show me someone typing a document at full speed into
OpenOffice or an equivalent, I ain't buying that line for a second.
My point is that a net book's keyboard is too small for serious typing.

And in the news...
Microsoft profits sink 32 percent.
Apple profits rise 15
Perhaps this does need to be explained to you, though I doubt it.
Apple's profit was not from computers; those sales actually fell.
Translation: Not good news for you.
MS's losses are indicative of the economy right now; very few
companies reported profits. Translation: Not good news for you.
Yup they make more profit as they are a direct to market seller, and
make profit on both the hardware and software.
MS make profit only on software and only on PC's sold.
Apple of course is more diversified so it make profit from more sectors.
Good for them of course.

No, but a keyboard sure is. And a screen big enough to read a word

It is just barely better than the iPhone/iTouch's version. Not better
enough.
You have a lot of real-life experience typing on netbooks? Or watching

I'll wait for Apple to do it right.
