    4 iPods wow. At least iPod, and iTMS gives Apple, and their stock holders something to fall back on, and look at as a positive rather than an under-whelming year otherwise. As far as hardware is concerned (and that's what this forum is about) besides the iPods the year has been nothing but static. Poor graphics findings, and poor performance from graphics cards on the Mac vs. identical cards on the PC. - Processor supply fiasco's, and a need to resort to a water cooling radiator in the pro desktop to hit the 2.5 GHz mark - after falling short of your 3Ghz claim to bring you back on par with the x86 side.

    I think the iPod, and iTMS make a nice vail for Apple to come out looking all nice, and shiny.

    When Apple started the 20th anniversary talk early on this year they expected better things, and had no idea of what was about to happen to their desktop computer lineup.

    Stock price because of iTMS, and iPod has little effect, or impact on the end user looking to upgrade to the next best PC. Sadly it can't be found here this year, but 2005 is right around the corner, and I hope there are surprises, and better happenings at MWSF in the pro desktop hardware department other than iPods this year. We'll find out in about 1 month.

    From a PR/marketing perspective, what does 20 years of experience benefit Apple, when trust and dependability are not their points of differentiation?



    Celebrate that internally and with investors. With the rest of the world, celebrate having hit a younger audience with a boatload of killer products.
