    Oh? Who said the goal was to drive Mac sales? I thought it was to sell a shitload of iPods, quite profitable in themselves thanks very much, and to leverage the white-headphone cult to sell online music.

    But of course we're both second-guessing people we've never even met, and neither of us has any idea what they were trying to do. Such a popular pastime here on Slashdot!
