A quicky little story about the Apple purchase.... We had just bought the house we're in -- and I wanted to get away from having a desktop computer and a laptop (too much computer management!) so went to look at the Apple laptop. Bought one --- and while there - noticed that it was the ONLY STORE IN THE MALL WITH A LINE OF PEOPLE WAITING TO BUY STUFF! -- Pretty simple research in my mind... every other store was empty -- and these guys have a line up! I come home and realize that everywhere I looked the kids had an iPod... we had like 4 or them!

Bought the stock.... every time I went to the mall (once a year MAX - I hate malls) the dump was PACKED with people... buy a little more... and hold.

And the rest - as they say - is history.
