Cisco?
Last I looked (which isn't often--they're not *that* important in the consumer space) their competition was squeezing them just fine.

High margins means somebody is *willing* to pay a premium price for *some* reason. No more, no less.

I'm not here to praise Apple--I'd rather bury them--but I'm not going to delude myself into thinking they aren't making a billion bucks a month net profit just because none of it comes from me.
