Well Apple had an
amazing quarter. $904 some-odd million in profit on $6+ Billion in sales. WOW...a few iPods here, 1.1 million iPhones there. Throw in a some MacBooks and MacPro desktops and maybe an Apple TV to round things out. Not too bad.
Apple ended the fiscal year with $15.4 billion in cash and no debt--Looking ahead to the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we expect revenue of about $9.2 billion...-Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO.
We learned that Apple will be opening 40 new Apple Stores in the next year and Steve told the
NY Times that Apple would try to keep up with new OS releases to boot. Anyone want to go to
Gateway Country for a new PC...oh wait...they are all closed. Apple's
market share is skyrocketing while Windows users are
singing the blues with Vista...why not try
XP instead!Now we are being told that Apple's market share may have
surpassed that of IBM...WOW.
Found this ad from 1981 over on
wired... smiled, and wanted to share.
