Apple computers posts best quarterly profits EVER! Buying blue must have
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 03:21 AM by Melodybe
been a small part of it. Sure ipod sales are the main reason, ipods are one of the greatest inventions ever. Sure plenty are sick as hell of buying a new PC only to have bogged down by spyware and viruses, so they have to buy another new computer just 2 years later. BTW our flat panel imac is 4 years old and still is fast and efficent. Sure tiger is the best OS on the market. However, a small part of me thinks that since Apple is a gay friendly, progressive democratic company some people are taking notice of their politics and switching.

I know that 2 of my gay friends are buying apples next simply because Gates pulled Microsoft's support for gay rights.

Either way I am happy for apple, and I can't wait to get my new ipod, the green mini for Christmas.

Remember folks buy blue, why give people you hate more money to destroy us.

1. I'm on an old blue iMac.
It still works great. My daughter has a 12" iBook she loves.
A Mac family since 1984.

once you go mac you never go back.

Tiger WAS rated the best OS this year by the majority of computer magazines and consumer advocates.

Ipods ARE the best music players out there.

Apple doesn't need me to hype them, their products speak for themselves.

I was just sayin that I think people ARE becoming more conscious of who they are giving their money to. Apple is blue and they rule.

Edited to add:

However, I agree that my first post does smack of apple commercialism. Mac people LOVE their apple products, we're just crazy that way.

But don't by the itrip ipod attachment, IT SUCKS!! Buy the tape converter to listen to your ipod in the car, it's cheaper and works way better. Repeat, DO NOT waste your money on itrip, it is more trouble than its worth.

6. I Was Serious
Y'all are keeping my Loved One employed (he's a software engineer there - you may have used some of his work if you use a Mac!).

5. You can have my G-5 . . .
when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. While the "blue" factor may have something to do with the rise in sales, it probably has more to do with the fact that more people are recognizing that Apple makes quality products. The reason that the Windoze operating system has so many security flaws is that MSFT is not trying to make it secure; the "backdoors" are there because they put them there intentionally. My Mac works for ME, 100%. Even if politics were not an issue I wouldn't go near Uncle Bill's crap.
