I’ll wait for a reponse the the question that was asked.
While it's certainly unfortunate that the PC market in general is not doing as well, conservatives can take comfort in the fact that an innovative, capitalist American business is flourishing in otherwise tough times.
Regardless of your feelings about Apple or their products (I don't recall if you've said you're an Apple customer or not), it's nice to see signs that not all computer businesses are in trouble.
I don't have shares of any of these companies, but I imagine the holders of AAPL are pleased.
Sorry, I meant to ping Swordmaker. But since I pinged you by mistake, I will respond to your question. I am not making light of the poor state of the economy. But even in the Great Depression, there were companies that made millions. For example the movie industry made a lot of millionaires. And people who owned chains of movie theaters made millions. I think that Apple will be one of those companies that will make millions during the current recession, or depression.
Your question was a political statement, not a real question.
