What have we created???

If the structure cost $10,000,000, who cares? Apple is hugely profitable and growing. It probably costs less than some 30 second commercials they do and in comparison to all of the rest of the expenses of the company, and the number of stores that DON"T have such a structure, it is a big nothing.

If I were a stock holder, (I'm not) I would love it. People will talk about it and that's called market awareness.

I agree except that I would consider, say, the iPhone5, a commodity in quantity sold only. It's a distinctive piece of hardware/software -- perhaps the most precise and elegant thing ever produced on such a scale.

Dell, forex, makes commodities.

Elegant , I may grant it... Precise ... on such a scale ..No .. The microprocessor (memory chips and DSP) in desktops, laptop, smartphones, in cars, fridge, remote controls, electric irons, etc are the most precise things ever produced at an almost astronomical scale their numbers could be be in the hundred of billions ...

Having and selling are two different things .

Not moving too many of the No 53's eh? Well, the performance is extraordinary, but the price is dear. What is your more affordable alternative? Do you guys stock the big HK integrated by any chance?

The 532H series is what we sell most of as it goes into home theater applications due to the fact that it comes in multi-channel configs. We don't carry any Harman Kardon since it is sold through a different channel than what services us (mass market versus custom).
