[QUOTE="ale4529, post: 842320, member: 72398"] Personally, I disagree with you. Not a little, but a lot. I don't want everyone to own a mac; not even a larger amount than currently do. Think about it this way. Just like exotic cars per say, if more and more people begin to own them, they become the standard; the norm. Their not rare anymore and the product's line ability to be distinct, exotic, and rare is no longer so. I firmly believe (whether people agree with me or not) that Apple will hold sustainable only if it continues to keep a low market share. I could write a book on this little theory (more like reality) of mine, but I'll keep it short. They are where they are because people can't have them -- they just want them. Also, while this is a sensitive topic, I believe Apple should *STAY* more expensive than PC's. Why? Because like I said before, this filters people out and keep's Apple's loyal customer base. Of course, they need customers to stay in business and expand, but truly, I believe they should stay low profile and keep their marketing strategy minimal. Besides, if macs became much more prominent, their quality product would decline and they would become what PCs are today. Every industry and company has followed this path and I'm not kidding. When they become greedy, they expand to gain market share and quality control and prices decline and that once Aston Martin (apple) becomes a GM. (PC) Apple should focus on what their good at and if I were them, I don't care what their competition does. It's clearly not as simple as this, but I just like talking about Apple; they rock! :) [/QUOTE]
