Am still holding ground with my earlier post. Lets scale things up a bit more. I say "Apple is a Fashion Statement and a creator of a Niche market " ( nothing wrong with this, I'm a keen follower of Niche markets like cars ) therefore I stand by these 2 point I wrote earlier. 1) I think we should also add that Apple has always been interested in the Niche market, not the numbers market. If it was upto Apple to serve the world's needs for cheaper and affordable computing, we would still be stuck in the 80s. Am I wrong and why? 2) Apple has given almost nothing to the development or the advancement of the technology sector, just great looking devices and desktop publishing. What do I not know about Apple's Global impact on technology advancements? corrections very welcome. :-) Rgds.
