Your repost of the same content over and over again is very Snit-like, Edwin.

Edwin
No, what's Snit-like is your obstinate refusal to acknowledge the truth, no matter how overwhelming the evidence for it is.

So what is the truth and how am I ignoring it? Please be specific.

The above chart shows Apples share remains the same in an ever-growing market, which is a good thing, it also shows that it has grown since a year ago, which is a good thing. What it doesn't show is Apples units sold for the same period, which has grown 188%, which is a good thing.

I'm fairly sure your point is that for Apple to be successful, their share must be higher, but obviously I don't agre with that. And I seriously don't think Apple agrees with you either.

I know for a certain that it's not true for my company. I don't have to have a high share of my market in order to feel successful.
