Frightening thought: AOL/TW buys Apple...
Read all about it here. <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/527624.asp" target="_blank">http://www.msnbc.com/news/527624.asp</a>
I nearly swallowed my toungue in shock. This is not something that is in the works, but the mere fact that somone would call this a good thing nearly gave me a stroke!!!
A taste of the article:
[quote]And under AOL, the iMac could be sold as a loss leader ? that is, sold for an initial loss, knowing the company will make up the revenue in spades with future services. Knock $400 off the price of an iMac and you have a $300 media center. Suddenly, Apple?s market share would skyrocket.<hr></blockquote>
Thus turning one of the best consumer machines into a joke.
Anyone else think this guy needs a reality check?

<strong>This is a really OLD article.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Heh! I did not even notice that! Feb 2, 01. Funny, it was listed on my stock quote page as current. They must have brought it back out in response to the new iMac. I still think it is a frightening thought....
<strong>I remember when I read that article last year. I got sick after reading it.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I can understand why. Imagine my relief at finding out how old that article really was...
