We all do at some point or another, maybe it s advertising s voice in our head, maybe it s just a desire for some new fun toys. I would like to invite you to consider an old friend, Forrest Gump s mint-making Apple Computer. Just a few years ago, in my computer retail days, I steered many people away from buying into a company that I thought wouldn t exist in five years. I had every right to think that, too. Apple sales were poor, they fired the co-creator of the company Steve Jobs, and they lagged FAR behind the PC world in terms of hardware price and performance.
Today is a different story.
That s great. Now you need to realize that little plastic box is also a name taking, PC crushing machine. I am a long time PC user, with my first PC sporting an 8086 processor and 640KB of RAM, jam packed with a whopping 20MB hard drive. That s what I get for thinking I guess. Better not try to do that too much.
