1. Crazy good. I as well as many others here have made sizable amounts over the last couple of months. Only wish I had bought Amazon way back when too. It’s coming along nicely though at the point of near retirement.

3. When AAPL hits a valuation of $1.1 trillion (next week, if this trend continues), MDN is going to have to show a list of companies that are worth less than AAPL’s fractional-trillion value (the .1 part). One tenth of a trillion is 100 billion. How many companies are even close to being worth $100 billion? For that matter, to move from today’s 1.099 T to 1.1 T (some would call that a rounding error) is still a matter of one billion dollars.

   1. Imagine the money lost if the infinitely “wise and prescient” Mikey Doofus Dell had bought and dissolved Apple and given the money back to the stock holders before it’s time in the sun?

      Dell’s currently (and probably will forever be) in the “chump change” low end part of the spectrum of spectacularly successful tech companies barely registering a blip being hampered with a fairly visionless leader.

      1. Imagine the money lost if Apple listened to the incessantly negative whiny little bitches that infest these pages.

         1. You mean the ones that whine about putting out pro Macs that people want to buy on a timely basis and not left to languish for years on end with dead-end designs and thus no sales for Apple?

         2. The way Apple is organised, no internal dynamics can take hold that don’t follow the established corporate roadmap. There ain’t any pirate flags flying on this Apple campus. Consequently, us all are stuck in the cushions of Jony Ive’s futon; in other words we’re small change. Now, Apple insists they are working on pro solutions; but without much more than vague futuristic promises, today’s pro users must employ plan B, namely to keep the old girls running until their last gasp, hoping for new hardware before that happens; or Plan C, to migrate to Windows or Linux, a royal pain in the ass. With only these options, it is impossible to feel any sympathy for Apple. They realise this state of affairs has alienated a number of long-standing customers, but they apparently expect some of us to stick around anyway, and predict an influx of new pro users to replace the ones who didn’t, once they roll out their promised gee-whiz Century 21 bombers. If they ever do. They might decide that wearable tech and self-driving cars are the next big things, and drop the whole computer-for-the-rest-of-us thing.

         3. This state of pro affairs has only served to make me apprehensive about Apple and distrustful. The disappointment and betrayal is profound on so many levels. The feeling is “You don’t care about us, then we don’t care about you anymore” despite the years of intense loyalty. And it’s very difficult to earn back trust instead of simply serving your customers correctly all along. They stopped giving us what we need and instead started ignoring us, or waited far beyond what it should have taken to understand the plight of the 2013 Mac Pro. Something the PC & Linux market decidedly does not do. The Mac has no competition from other Mac manufacturers unlike PC’s, and therein lies the problem. For Apple there’s little sense of urgency.

            Fortunately I am using a borrowed souped up 2010 Mac Pro on a project that’s fine for now and will last until April or so of next year so I can afford to wait and see. But if the 2019 MP doesn’t hold up (or is perceived as the 2013 Mac Pro Part II) the criticism will be swift & brutal and for many the last straw, as it will be for me. I have my alternate plan ready to go in the event Apple fails us again. I also don’t plan to buy into a system where many parts and pieces are needed adding tremendous extra cost and end up with cables strewn all over the place. Apple better choose it’s design wisely and not Ives-stupid.

         4. You asked me before if I would be happy with the non-upgradeable iMac Pro I purchased this year and the answer is no, I already want to upgrade its components and cannot do so. You were right to hesitate about these all-in-one devices. I still plan to give it away to one of my nieces, once Apple deigns to issue the modular unit they promised. But their promises may turn out to be weasel words, just like my ex-husband’s were. These silver-tongued, attractive alpha males with stellar reputations are all alike — toads disguised as princes. I keep falling for them, so it must be my fault. 😖 caveat emptor.

         5. It was tempting but at the end of the day I knew I would just be frustrated with an iMac Pro and that much more resentful of Apple not giving me what I truly want. My order at Puget Systems btw is standing by until I see what Apple has wrought.

            We’re not all frogs but there is a fair percentage of them still lurking out there. Never trust an alpha male. They are usually jerks.

4. Imagine the money lost Selling 4 year old computers
