That iPod article is interesting. The iPod is why I bought the stock. One day, I was in a San Jose meeting. Working on a co-development project with the company’s wireless division. Near the end of the meeting, this really smart engineer said we should be aspiring to an out-of-box experience like this new device he just got.
Then, he goes and gets his new iPod. All repackaged so he could show the experience of opening it up. We had a discussion, which focused on how this was such a new direction for Apple, and how well that iPod was done. He was really pumped about the scroll wheel. That put Apple on my investing radar. I bought my own iPod, and a few months later, I finally made my Apple investment.
I paid $15.11. At the time they had about $12.00 per share in cash, so you were basically paying $3 per share for the company. I probably would not have bought if that guy hadn’t brought out his iPod.

It will come as no surprise…
Again, checkout the discussion in the comments section. I recently saw a story on Japan’s military buildup and the need to protect Taiwan from a Chinese invasion. Just sayin.

An idea that is way overdue. I hope it happens.

I guess for some reference of the interest in Macs and Gaming all one would have to do is look at the Mad reception that HALO got when Steve introduced it too the MacWorld faithful back in 1999 🎉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxdgo1rFcxU
