Taking stock of Apple ...

I have tracked Apple as a company since the eighties, when I really did need to know what publishing technologies to adopt for use at work. Apple’s certainly had its ups and downs. What I see in the chart below is not how Apple is doing specifically but where the computer to going: The computer olympics are warming up. So it’s all about computers becoming faster, smaller, lighter, thinner, brighter, and cheaper. All computers are becoming “computers for the rest of us.” The first Apple computer I bought in 1987 was $2,800; the Apple computer I carry with me cost $200 last year and has more than 100 times the memory and speed.
