Apple wants to see the installed base increase as well.  If they didn't, they
wouldn't be selling the machines.  (It really is close to this simple, gang;
I don't understand where all these conspiracy theories keep coming from.)
I'm not convinced, though, that major national advertising is the best way
Apple can spend their money to increase the installed base.  Everyone was just
assuming it was, and I pointed out that this is far from obvious.
