Short term thinking
--- Apple has had plenty of time to conquer the PC market, but
all they've seen is a shrinking share of that market.---

You're exhibiting very short term thinking. How long has the PC
market existed, 30 years? Is that long enough for everything to
be set in stone, so it will never change again?

Jonas Salk's first vaccine hit the market in the mid-1950's and
there are still corners of the earth that don't see widespread
vaccine use. To ignore new developments and technologies
because they are not yet popular seems a foolish approach to
me.
