HI Jim,
My comments and posts were based on objective facts and data. One can draw one's own conclusions from that as one sees fit.
To answer your question, McDonald's sold well over several billion hamburgers many, many years ago, and Samsung sells ~200,000,000 phones/yr, just as Apple does. Moreover, I would surmise that Samsung has sold well over a billion DRAM SIMMS/DIMMS over the last 10 years, if not considerably more than that.
What I can say is that Apple would not survive with their current level of quality and execution in a medical, diagnostics, or newborn screening environment.
The key point being that Apple used to, and could, do MUCH better than it is presently doing, and...its not, in my view.
Cheers.
