lilbandit, based on your number 4 and 5 suggestions, you'd be overthrown by your stockholders :P.

Brilliant!
might I, as future employee, come with a few sugestions?

7. Do a Broadway musical called "Stupid is what stupid does" about Bill Gates life.
8. Become the number one computer brand in the third world by, at a loss, cutting all the prices and striking deals with their goverments about total endorsment in the future for the trouble.

It's all good but first you'll need to hire a staff to assist you. How about a team of around 50? You decide on wages and things. In fact I'll just give you one of those stamps that authorise cheques. I like the whole third world thing so lets go with that. First world markets are too competitive anyway. I think that Apple also needs to complicate things. More models, more options, more colours, different names for the same products, that kind of thing. Maybe we could head hunt some Microsoft executives to help us gouge customers for more cash?

The first thing I would do is create a new section of Apple dedicated to creating new games and porting PC games to the Mac. If enough money was offered then there could be an OS X version of Counter Strike which would be enough to bring more people to the Mac. The lack of Counter Strike/Half-Life is the only reason my PC friends don't own a Mac. They are so envious of my computer.

Ironically, there have been reports on a few rumour sites that Apple is preparing to do just that. I'd happily donate a kidney if these rumours turned out to be true

Now...who will be the lucky one getting your kidney?
