We're really buying into Bob's vision, not the other way around.
Power computing has pioneered direct marketing and sales in the Macintosh market.
And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
You could have a negative view of having 4 or 5 percent share, but one of the positives is that you don't really have to care what the rest of the market is like. It's like being on the bottom of the ocean -- it doesn't really matter what the weather on the top is like.

He is my buddy. I would hate to see what his enemies look like.
Our competitor gives away the player, but they charge you big bucks if you want to broadcast anything,
So we think these products are wrong, ... We think that video may be the wrong direction to go.
