Read again: I explicitly said cash cows.

The Mac hasn't been a cash cow at Apple for over a decade.
At best it is a legacy product line, at worst an afterthought.
It rates just ahead of the non-touch iPods and AppleTV.

Apple could lose the entire Mac business and they wouldn't blink.
Stock price might even go up.

(When I use weasel words it's to simply the discussion. In this case: no Mac, no XBOX or MS mice and keybiards. No need to bring in the outliers; Apple is 99% entertainment and fun--even the phones. MS is mostly business.)
