    Why bother with beat ? Clinton is for sale cheap.

    You have to wonder just how its adherents will start adjusting the scenario now. Should be like watching preachers recalculate the date of the rapture.

    Well just goes to show that Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) is optimistic.

    Your reasoning behind this is what ? "Apple doesn't make stupid decisions ?"

    I was a mac person. Mac II, MacII FX. They hardly killed the 5.25 inch drive. You might as well say the original PC killed the 8inch disk. It's always been a battle of price point issues vs usability issues.

    When the Iomega Zip disk came out it was easy to see that existing magnetic media wasn't meeting the need. Optical is still hitting a good price performance spot, that may go but not because anything apple does. Just shifting of costs in flash and hard drives. You can get external HDs for roughly 25$/terrabyte and flash drives are down to 25 cents/gig. Flash at 10 cents a gig will destroy dvd r, HD at current levels is already far superior for large applications

    Have you looked at a map of the U.S. Population density lately ?

    Give you a hint most of it is near the water.

    Can anything Apple does in the PC arena be called a "Success" ? They have about 7% of the PC market. and as it stands Chromebooks are outselling macs.

    Comcast is really bad. But when you live in area that actually has competition they get better.

    Ex. In my area ATT began a fiber rollout and Comcast suddenly discovered customer service and competitive pricing.
