We'll have to see how efforts like the "store within a store" deal with
CompUSA goes. In any event, I don't really care how much of the market uses
Apple as long as I can do what I want using Apple products. It's kinda like
how I've been watching films on laserdisc for years while the vast majority
of people watch VHS. I could care less what everyone else watches as long as
I can get the titles I want to see. I just don't go for the "everyone else
is using it" line.
