I was in London a week ago and befre leaving, a friend asked if I could bring her a MacMini as she had finally decided to dump Windows and was not able to obtain a MacMini for three weeks! They are selling quite well despite some media analysts' impressions. I had to go to the Apple Store - what a place- and was shocked to see how full it was for late night Thursday shopping. Conversations I listened to in English and French in the non- iPod areas made it clear that Apple is gaining traction. Will it last? Who knows? But growth often follows a sigma shaped curve- investors hate the early part of that curve but love what follows- and we have to remember that Apple has been on that curve twice before, coming and going. They are being given a second chance and hopefully this time they will take advantage of the enormous buzz that they have created int he world. Which leads me to make a comment about your article: all the surveys show that Apple is one of the most recognized brands in the world, so you have really answered your own question. Some PC users may diss it (often IT types) but it's disappearance would make a thunderclap not a passing sigh!
