Apple looser than what?: Do you mean that Apple isn't run very strictly or with any
discipline but you didn't tell us looser than what other company.
If you think that is the case, you, of course, would not be looser
yourself but a loser. A loser is someone who doesn't habitually
win. You couldn't possibly be thinking that Apple is a loser
company because its stock has more than tripled in value this
year (while the rest of the tech world has languished) and it
owns the online music business and the portable digital music
business.

Anybody who thinks the iPod is a "useless joke" would probably
fall into the "loser" category instead of the "looser" category
because they obviously don't know what is happeining in the
market place.; Posted by: mlindl Posted on: 12/14/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
