    The only reason "Maccies" ever mentioned "market valuation" in the first
    place was that dicks like you insisted that greater market value meant
    greater technical value.

    Apples and oranges. Microsoft sells zero phones, yet has a market valuation equal to Apple. Phones are not the only source of market value.

    And the fact is that dicks such as you were telling us that Microsoft financial success meant technical and usability superiority for YEARS.



    'Imagine - if this was an insanely great company how much better they
    could be. Gee, if they had real products that people really wanted
    instead of holding a gun to our heads and forcing us to buy their
    totally non-functional OS's and junky Suite......... With better
    products they might get to 51% or even 52% increases in profits. WOW, it boggles the mind.

    MS to report 50 percent growth
    By Reuters
    October 17, 1997, 3:50 p.m. PT
    Microsoft (MSFT) is expected to report another solid quarter of nearly
    50 percent earnings growth next week, showing no evidence yet of a
    slowdown predicted for later in its fiscal year.'

    'I may not know much about computer hardware but I have made a lot of
    money reading financial statements. Apple is in big trouble, but is not
    in need of a financial bailout yet. However, the trends are very
    negative. If this rate of decline is maintained for another 24 months
    this company will no longer be independent. It will be owned by another company or it's creditors.'
