bought apple stock after OSX

[ndunn]

That was about 3+ years ago, at one of Apple's low points. The stock has about quintipled ($10/80). OSX was so clearly in the right direction, albeit broken that it was indicitive of good things (iPod,Mini, Xserve clusters, etc.) of things to come.

There formula for success is the same as google's. Build an efficient user-experience over a solid backend.

I bought a powerbook and an ipod with apple's "cram and jam" program for college in the fall of '03. After one week of using it, I was convinced that I should buy some apple stock. I was amazed at how beautiful and powerful OS X was, and how easy to use the iPod was. I thouhgt that if Apple kept up the marketing, they could takeover the mp3 player market and make a dent in the laptop market I tired to convince my parents to give me some money to invest, but they thouhgt that they were already spending enough on my tution, plus my laptop. I think apple stock was in the high teens at that time. If i had gotten to put the grand I wanted to into apple, I would have enough money to buy myslef a dual g5. next time I have an inkling about a company with an awesome product, I'm jumping on it.
