available for identifying performance and reliability issues on a Windows

tools available on the Mac are rather superficial. Most provide basic
diagnostic information such as “yes the network port is working”, or “yes the
SMART status is good”; but I have yet to discover anything more substantial. I
find myself operating in a Unix terminal prompt to solve many issues; but would
love to have access to something more user friendly but detailed in its

<p class=MsoNormal>The point is that Apple as a company is doing well even in
this difficult economy. Apple systems are fast, high performance, and
reliable, unlike many Windows systems I've had to maintain. The Apple
product (MacBookPro Laptop, MacPro Workstation, iMac Home System, and iPhone
Mobile Platform) are superior to Windows in almost every way, and should be
seriously considered at your next purchase opportunity. Apple
especially excels in the creative media area: web, audio, video,
photography, print, and graphic art. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Macs cost more, but they are worth the investment in your
organization since they are higher quality systems, and yield higher levels of
productivity.<o:p></o:p></p>

Subject: [itdiscuss] Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results<br>
<br>
Apple shipped 2,611,000 Macintosh® computers during the quarter, <br>
representing 21 percent unit growth and 17 percent revenue growth over <br>
the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 11,052,000 iPods during the <br>
quarter, representing eight percent unit growth and three percent <br>
revenue growth over the year-ago quarter. Quarterly iPhone units sold <br>
were 6,892,000 compared to 1,119,000 in the year-ago-quarter.<br>
<br>
“Apple just reported one of the best quarters in its history, with a <br>
spectacular performance by the iPhone—we sold more phones than RIM,” <br>
said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We don’t yet know how this economic <br>
downturn will affect Apple. But we’re armed with the strongest product <br>
line in our history, the most talented employees and the best <br>
customers in our industry. And $25 billion of cash safely in the bank <br>
with zero debt.”<br>
