Ha. Got me good for a minute, with gems like "So far, Apple seems to be winning the fight." and "Microsoft's current operating system, Windows Vista, is a well-known disappointment.". Until I looked up and saw it was an article not about computers, but about advertising. Good one. On Tue, Feb 10,

No, that part is pure fantasy. Talk about misinterpreting! Perhaps you're referring to the 2% share increase? Great. At that rate, Macs should reach 50% of the market somewhere around the year 2100. On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 8:51 PM, Tom Piwowar wrote: >>Ha. Got me good for a minute, with gems li

>No, that part is pure fantasy. Talk about misinterpreting! So you are bad at math too? 8 --> 10 is a 25% increase. 2 is 25% of 8. 8 + 2 = 10. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** **

Yes, Apple and its market share are growing at the incredibly fast pace of a successful startup. Anyone who does not see this as very interesting must be dull indeed. To wave this off with a "2 percent" of some pc-fanbois market-fantasy means total monkey-configuration: see no evil, hear no evil,

Ah. So a 2% increase in share is a 25% increase in your fantasy world? Okay. I can _almost_ accept that twisted math, except if the whole pie is 10 instead of 100, then 2 is only 20% of it, not 25%. That 2 is 1/4 of 8 means nothing, because you cannot define the whole market as being 8 percent. On

I agree with the Vatican. Intelligent design is neither intelligent nor biblical. Trying to use the Bible to justify a creation model is a disservice to the text. Stewart At 06:54 PM 2/11/2009, you wrote: >Ah. So a 2% increase in share is a 25% increase in your fantasy world? The Vatican

Tony, Tony, Tony, I have tried to ignore your useless rants, but this one caught me. If you don't understand how going from 8% to 10% is a 25% increase, I am even sadder. I thought you had some small amount of technical knowledge. This is basic elementary school stuff. The market is divided in
