But you see, in a way it is fair. Apple already HAD a
terrific product...and the opportunity grew without
it! And now it is going to grow beyond it. The problem
now is Dell's price point for a PocketPC is $200 less
than similar products. And this will drive people to
the PocketPC in droves and once the PDA market has
shifted to Microsoft's vision, Apple will never have a
chance to compete because it will be so different to
Microsoft's that no one will understand it!.
Apple had an opportunity, but squandered it. Hmmm, I
wonder...can a company be sued for NOT making a
product?

Why is that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life
in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
