Is there no larger contingent of armchair corporate CEOs than Apple fanatics? Let's examine the so-called wealth of opinion out there and see how it measures up.

"Fortunately, this baby is doing just fine, thank you. Having made it through the recession as the only computer company (along with Dell) to turn a profit"
how can one write such patently false material.
one, dell and apple are not just computer companies: they are retailers that sell software from third parties, they sell services, they sell entertainment devices, they run stores, etc etc etc...in addition to making and selling computers.
so, of all the major corporations that sell computers as a major element of their business, only those two made a profit during some recession that the writer refers to.
the recession in japan? the tech downturn after the massively inflated spending that led up to the Millenium? be clearer please.
profit? as in yearly profits? quarterly profits?
so the writer is a thorough industry analyst that is telling us that the following have not had profit "during" some recession...(I presume recently):
IBM: wrong they have had profits
Fujitsu
HP
Siemens
Acer
Toshiba
Panasonic
Emachines
Abspc.com
Polywell
Unisys
the point is there are many computer companies that made a profit in most of the quarters in recent years.
Dont spread distortions.
