	Yup... For the most part Apple has produced high quality products.
Since the introcuction of the Mac into their product line their attitude
toward their customers has deteriorated. They have a long road to
recovery. I still think they can regain market share, but not the way
they are going about it. They are no longer the upstart company they
were. They have become part of the establishment.

	They own the company. They can do anything with their products they
like. They could release a brick and call it a Mac. They could sell
turnips and call them Apple//t computers (it would be the most they've
done for the Apple// in years). There is nothing to say they have to be
consistant.
