Combine that with a year of what will be tight consumer spending and the pressure is on.

etc etc. I wouldn't touch their stock with a 10 foot pole right now.

Those are two very different claims.
Just curious:
Using current market conditions, what stock are you optimistic about?

LOL. That was Great :D
I bought a super expensive Ipod video some time back. 60 gigs.
In a few days time, I found out how Crappy the thing was:
1) There was no win98 support at time of purchase... and even windows xp support
was sketchy. I had to buy a non apple program just to use the thing... and that was
after a good deal of infuriating frustration.
2) I brushed past a corner, and it nearly tore off the scroll wheel. It had a huge
deep scratch thru it.. and scrolling in that area was messed up.
3) Next up... with all of that power it had... it didnt even have a way to create a
customized EQ! And most of the EQ settings it had were crap.
4) You cant operate the thing with gloves on! Had to use my nose to scroll in the winter
here.
5) It took a weak 1ft tumble WITH a 3mm Thick rubber protective sleeve on it... and the
Hard drive was Messed up.
6) Being that I owned the thing less than 1 yr... and was so damn expensive... I figured
that it MUST be under warranty right? WRONG. Apple warrants the Ipod from date of
Manufacture... and Not when you buy it. So.. if the thing sat on the store for a year..
you would be buying a warantee-less item. In my case... my Warranty was past due
by like 2 months or so.
7) To see what it would take to get it repaired you had to go thru hoops to register...
and even then... its very non-confrontational about pricing. I soon realized why.
It cost almost as much as a brand new one, to get it fixed thru them.
8 ) Apple sells no parts to fix the things for yourself... AND since they keep changing the
hardware... there are incompatibilities with various drives and memory types.
9) There is No easy way to access the battery, and at that time.. No replacement for the
battery. How LAME is that?!
I USED to go by the saying "You get what you pay for"... and opt for spending the
larger amount of money for the higher quality... which would last longer, and perform
better. However... I see from this company, (and others), that its not true at all.
I will NEVER buy an Apple product again... and I will continue to tell everyone I know
about how crappy apple products are.

You're nuts. And your opinions on Apple products is off as well. ;D

I totally would believe Apple would come out with something that retarded.
