• Alex Lindsay told me he creates content for Mac Users because he KNOWS they'll pay more for pretty.  Wonder if that will hold true?  if the higher income people are hurt less by the economy could Apple actually do better?  And what if they do come out with a sub-1000 notebook, will the stock rebound?
