But Apple's problem is that their market is so small.  It's actually
shrinking.  So is everyone that buys an iMac this year gonna buy an
iMac2 next year?  That will have to happen if Apple is to survive.

The bottom line is, only people who already own Macs buy Macs.  I'd
certainly never buy one, and no one I know would buy a Mac.  The point
I was trying to make is that once they saturate their small market,
that's pretty much it.  They need to grow their market, and I don't
see the iMac doing it.  

As always, I'd rather be a small fish in an ocean than a whale in a
shrinking pond.
