+ End with a discussion of “general” 2009 Predictions

To add a little to the Graeme/BBY/Schiller comment on the cast…
Apple had just introduced the first Cinema Displays (had only shipped 15). BBY got the next 15, waited 2 wks and got another 15. This was at a time when BBY and Apple didn’t exactly have the best relationship. Phil took care of us even though they wouldn’t let BBY.com carry Macs online. In addition to the Cinema systems we ordered 15 iMacs (graphites) and 15 laptops.
Thanks Phil!!!
