I've always been a route/admire the under dog type guy.
I don't think I'd like Apple being king of the hill...though I do like
the fact they have gained some market share in the computer
end of the deal...and over all since they started out at roughly
zero in the server arena as well. As for the iPod and music/
video....There is still a lot of time for these markets to work
themselves out and I'm not concerned about Apple being king or
getting too much of an attitude. With any luck Steve and Co
have learned a thing or two from the past and in this case there
is no IBM like giant to bless a competitor and pass on the crown
to someone else so the playing field is quite different even
though there does seem to be similarities as well.
