All this discussion of the Apple Fall Promotion is interesting. Has anyone considered what I always thought was generally true. ie. One promotes the products he needs to move. If something is selling like hotcakes without promotion and at a higher price the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut and rake in the dough. If you are sitting on a warehouse's full of unsold inventory you pump it with all the promotion you can. Just a thought.
