Depends... what's a "gourmet pie"? That almost sounds like something made with sweatbreads. If that's the case, then you can keep all the "gourmet pie" for yourself. :-)
Mind you, I normally like to avoid these "which is better - mac or PC" wars. Each system has its own good points and not so good points. Market share can be a good indicator but it, like most data, can easily be misconstrued if you don't look at what's really behind it (to think I'm finally using my degree in marketing!) :-) Check this out from Slashdot.org: apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/20/0146218&from=rss "...Fortune picked up this report and pointed out (apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/05/19/report-apples-market-share-of- pcs-over-1000-hits-66/? or tinyurl.com/6d7a4g) the somewhat obvious fact that the >$1,000 PC segment is Apple's by default, since Dell, HP, and Lenovo sell the bulk of their machines in the $500-$750 range, and Apple has only one model selling for less than $1,000. As the analyst said, It doesn't hurt Apple that once you're in its store, you can't buy any computer with a screen for less than a grand. If you don't give people a choice people will spend more." (The last 2 lines were cobbled together from the Slashdot.org story and the Fortune story) Larry -----Original Message----- From: Computer Guys Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Piwowar Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 7:06 AM To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Subject: Re: [CGUYS] OMG!

How to explain? If I take a gourmet pie and cut in into three slices. I give you one slice and a big bag of Hohos. I keep the other two slices for myself. Are you happy? Yes this is an IQ test. ************************************************************************ * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************ * ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
