I think you are only a step or two away from claiming dilleet's offering of a "Mac Cola" prize.
See post 14501.
Excerpt:
"I'll send a can of Mac Cola to the 1st person who can post verifiable numbers on these sales and their realised profits."
Thanks for providing these numbers. I agree with all of your points, FWIW. I don't think it would be reasonable for AAPL to lament the "could have been" gains when they realized such significant gains. I don't recall any shareholder complaints or suggestions that Fred should leave regarding these strategic investments.
