To read all of the press, you would think Apple was losing sales. Forty percent growth is still ahead of the industry average, so Apple just lost half of its market cap in a day on news that while its market share is growing, it's not growing as fast as expected. I just get the feeling Apple's customer base has stagnated. Everyone who was enamored by the iMac has already bought one.
Cubes are too dang expensive to really make a difference.
Same with G4 towers. It's all about speed. It may be a cheap marketing gimmick, but it sells computers. You can believe all day the G4 is faster, but to the millions of PC users out there, it makes no difference. Apple needs to do something about Motorola.
