no this isn’t - can’t be - true!

I have it on good authority that Apple makes inferior products to windows. Has a tiny market share. Makes all the wrong decisions on its products. Blah, blah, blah...

Founder Ronald Wayne sold his 10% share for $800 in 1976.

Today it would be worth $58 Billion.

The comparison to Microsoft does not take inflation into account. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the software giant was worth about $850 billion on Dec. 30, 1999. Microsoft is now worth $257 billion.

My friendly local office tightwad finally broke down & bought a (used) 13” Macbook Pro.

I’ll enjoy watching him become an addict. < |:)~

Time for the government to break them up. Can’t let them get too big. Oh wait, that already started with the suit over iBook publishing prices.
