4. I know Arn believes that the G5 is out of Apple's hands but Apple can still influence progress (its surprising how much quicker you can work if you have real demand and especailly money driving as a driving force)
this is getting old, but it's my friggin backyard i was born in and more often than not, everyone i grew up with and the parents, and sometimes their parent's parent worked in this high tech field at one time or another...i invite you to silicon valley, too
the eastern press, midwestern press, or foreign press don't help out with reality either and san jose's main paper got bought out by someone else
apple is too small and have any real influence in the valley and it's laughable for apple to have even the tiniest influence on motorola (i still think, once apple gets the g5 in quantities from motorola, they should get the machine out and not try to milk the g4 apollo machine...though they can probably do that for a long time and will)
apple is healthier than many silicon valley companies but in terms are they riding at their crest or potential...i think, without any real proof though, that apple can double their 3.5 percent market share thru lowered prices
apple makes the best home computers but that alone cannot save them as beta was better than vhs
but if apple had to rent out more of their building/buildings and fire 80 percent of their work force and exist for only one percent of the market, they can and will since there is no brand which has the loyalty of apple's...even sucky apple machines of the past had their fans even though they knew the machines were not up to apple's standards...many would jump to linux if apple died next year...anything to avoid windows
sadly, and unjustifiably so, apple is largely seen as a joke in the region and amazes people that they are still even around...especially steve "moon beam" jobs at the helm
