Kaftan Barlast Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Apple got huge because it tried something different with a computer.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Economicly no. Because you are not only taking a risk doing it, but you will actually spend without gaining an immediate return profit.
