[OT] Market Share

[Jim Carwardine]

You would be surprised at how many CEOs out there do get it and could
replace Jobs.  I don't know, but I would bet that the majority of Apple's
Board now get it as well and would be capable of selecting a decent
candidate for replacing Jobs if he died in a plane crash.

There was a comment earlier about the Apple TV ads.  I don't think those ads
are about attracting normal unknowing PC users - the bulk of PC users think
the GUI world started with Windows in 1995.  I think those ads are about
market research for Apple, designed to appeal to PC users who are using
iPods and iTunes.  They are the ones Jobs wants to join the new MacIntel
niche... Jim
