Well for being someone who claims to also not "understand it", you certainly speak with authority, and seem to know what would - and wouldn't - "do shit". A fascinating leap.

you know nothing at all yet make these long winded posts and shoot down others and think you're way is the only way.

I don't know anything about dinosaurs, but I guess I could go bug some people on a dig and Montana and inform them that they're going about it all wrong.

you're inability to use analogy in a method that relates to this argument is hilarious.

To me, Apple's marketing strategy seems to be this: • iPod • People might accidentally wander into one of our stores, IF, of course, they're fortunate enough to live in or near a city that has one • If you live in a large enough city (Frisco, NYC, etc.?), you might get treated to some billboards as you drive by at 75mph. • Full page ad in Macworld, where all the non-Mac-using people are known to lurk in the largest numbers.

1. yes, iPod. it's their runaway hit, in all the press, and something everyone wants.

2. whats the avg distance of an apple store to the US population? Isn't something like 25 miles? and how many stores will they have open by the end of the year?
3. Some billboards? try every block, try every bus stop or subway station. not only in SF and NY. They are in several cities across North America and even in Europe.
4. I guess Newsweek, US News, Time, Businessweek, Wired, Scientific America, and various other technology/medical magazines don't count.....since all of those have had various Apple ads over the past year.....with everything from the G5 to powerbooks to Final Cut Pro being featured.

But you're right, 'nut. Nothing I say means shit. Those dwindling numbers, those are just hard facts of life that Apple can't - and shouldn't - do anything about, lest they look "mean" or "aggressive" or *gasp* like they're trying to SELL something and tout their wares.

dwindling numbers? hm. iPod is selling more than they can make. PowerMac is selling more than they have supply. Powerbook is selling to their supply. iMac bombed....no adverstising could possibly save that thing. Not much point in spending millions on advertising for products in which you already can't provide enough of.

Each of your posts above get goofier and more out of the touch than the previous one. And here you are, a "nut" on the very subject. I expected more.

you going out of your way in an attempt to prove me wrong because i questioned the existence of your nutsack is getting even more pathetic. you're last post was the goofiest of all..... instead of proving me wrong, you resorted to immature attacks and comments..... do you have any substance or is this your example of intelligence and maturity?


brad, speak for yourself about being a kid. nice poem there bud. "kasper" must have cried himself to sleep over that.
