What It Would Take To Fix Microsoft For Me

--->"Correction: Apple's newest OS (Leopard) installs and runs fine on machines as much as seven years old. All you need is a G4, 867 MHz, was available on the Power Mac G4 introduced mid - 2001."

In my collection of Apple hardware, I actually HAVE just that model, yeah, bought it in late Oct of 2001, added a little memory long ago, when Leopard came out, the newest OX I bought the "Family Pack" that allows for FIVE INSTALLS if you are somehow classified as a "family" and it went right onto the OLD machine, and worked, PERIOD.

I had an Apple II, long ago, but when Lotus 123 was the rage, I had to have a Compaq { first on in the state to own one } to LUG AROUND, my proud "portable that *only* weighed 30lbs!"

So, keeping a spare Apple around, more for the "keep a tap on the other guys" forever, I used BOTH, daily side by side. Finally when the VISTAdisaster was released, and the HUGE mess it made of my setups, I bit the bullet and went total Apple, my new MacBook Air, weights 1/10th what the Compaq did, my 24" iMac is a delight for these 58 year old eyes, the Time Capsule backs them all up over a Wireless N/5Ghz hourly, without my doing anything, the four iPods the family has all work, the AppleTV is ok, and getting better, and best of all....

I loaded up on 2000 shares of AAPL, ranging from 73 to 162 a share.

The way I see things, Apple is now unstoppable, a behemouth on a tear, and they have a HUGE market out there, virturally untapped, PISSED OFF MICROSOFT users! With only 6% share { depends on who and where you look } they *ONLY* have 94% potential upside, maybe less as some bleeding edge enthusiasts go UNIX or UNIX varients.

Apple has PAID FOR all my apple hardware in the last two years, AND is about 1/2 way to paying for my son to go to Carnegie Mellon, and learn how to make more money than I ever did. THANK YOU, Steve Jobs, thank you.
