Hopefully, this will put a final end to the media’s description of Apple as the “beleaguered” computer company. Now it’s Dell’s turn.
In a few years, Microsoft will be the “beleaguered” software maker when people realize that it is NOT the CPU, but it is all about the OS.
R: Apple is dooooomed? Really? How do you figure?
Apple should pay a dividend followed by a press release commemorating Michael Dell’s infamous statement from eight years ago about what he would do with Apple if he were in charge. A piece of the company to each shareholder. It would be beautiful iRony.
I think R is being humorous.
No, R was being iRonic
I think Michael Dell should sell the company and give the money back to the shareholders!
R not: It’s actually code for Decentralized Object-Oriented Machine.
That’s a refreshing upgrade from Death to Overly Obvious Mediocrity.
TMAN – right on.
iRony Rules!
Rice-ironee the SF treat!
