These are the first personal computers in history with dual processors, ... This is the kind of stuff many of our customers do every day and this can save them an hour or two each day.
Now, the performance just goes into the stratosphere.
With ... Intel's latest dual-core processor under the hood, the new iMac delivers performance that will knock our customers' socks off.
Our results this quarter reflect the outstanding performance of 'Monsters, Inc.,' ... Which is poised to continue with its domestic home video release next month, and earnings from our growing film library, which continues to outperform our expectations.
Apple had a great quarter, no question about it. We are very pleased with the strong demand for our Power Macintosh G3 computers, which accounted for 51 percent of all units sold.

Our relationship with Microsoft is kind of like a marriage. It's terrific 99 percent of the time. And one percent of the time we argue, usually over multimedia. And in life, that's not a bad ratio.
That same innovation, that same engineering, that same talent applied where we don't run up against the fact that Microsoft got this monopoly, and boom! We have 75 per cent market share,
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.

I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.... Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive. You're going to give it up. So you've got to have an idea, or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you're passionate about; otherwise, you're not going to have the perseverance to stick it through.
