Re: Profit not being the name of the game

Sorry, if you're a multi-million dollar company like Apple, profit IS the name
of the game.  You can't expect them to do something out of the goodness of
their hearts (except to build goodwill and thus, future sales -- although I'm
not sure if Apple's marketing is looking that far ahead).  A business is
defined as a profit-seeking entity -- and Apple is definitely a business.

Maybe that's why Woz got out of it, eh?
