that there is a lot behind at Apple than Steve Jobs. While some (I'm waiting for RC to wail a bit) might think it's terrible there is a need to remember that the profits are due to the explosive increases in AAPL. I bought some at $14.85 and am VERY please with what these good folks are doing. Keep them happy and products & shares are going to continue to be sweet.
