Big in Japan: Apple Retail Experience [View article]
Welcome to the REAL world. Apple is an ecosystem for those who demand and receive excellence at all times in all things. Apple sometimes fails but is swift to admit its failure and boldly committed to correcting its error. For example, last year the "moblie me" launch was ham-handed. Now, "mobile me" is under new management and it works brilliantly. Apple has a culture that rewards perfection, kindness, and simplicity. I own a PowerBook G4 that is five years old and I just had it reconditioned with a new motherboard, new hard drive, and they reloaded all of my software for me. For $300 I have a "new" computer that they say should last for at least three more years. Apple's confidence in its quality is the most endearing part of being in the Apple ecosystem. They want me to be satisfied. I am euphoric!

I was just sharing my thoughts with a group of people who are quite discerning and, mostly, devoid of bluster.

$300 by yearend was a layup. I believe that $600 is the real number.
