What Apple should do to increase market share.

I agree. the switchers campaign is great.

what happened to apple dominating the education market? I dont see it here where I live. The community college I went to "had" a mac only lab, but canned that several yrs ago to make room for more pee cee's.

Giant food "use to" have an apples for the students thing every fall. where is that now? it's Pee cee's too I beleive.

the compusa apple store near here gets smaller every day. best buy fell through, circuit city has a few mac items, nothing to brag about.

Seems apple could do better in many areas, and are NOT. I dont know what their doing wrong.

Even sears. I looked for macs there once, didnt see one. Didnt they have a deal going to sell macs?

Sears selling Macs... that was a while ago...

My husband sold Macs at Sears back in 93. I think Sears stopped selling Macs around 95 or 96. Apple doomed the whole thing because Sears only sold Performas. The salespeople who knew nothing about Macs would steer customers away from Performas. Customers who wanted support for their Performas had to get hold of the "Mac guy" because the other salespeople wouldn't help them. CompUSA has a lot of the same problems.

The job was pretty lousy. No Mac guy would want a job like that, unless his last job was counting groceries and he's really desperate to do anything else. The best thing about that job is that he met a Mac developer who came in to check out the Performas. He tried to sell him a Performa and ended up getting a Mac programming job! Bye Bye Sears.
