Sure, but when were we only discussing geeks? Or even "most" of them? HP are apparently the world's largest PC supplier, so the fact that Apple makes (allegedly) 6x the profit on iPhone than HP does on PCs is relevant. But yes, it's likely as much to do with the 'commoditisation' of PCs and the general drift away from the PC 'space' as anything; but as I said before, interesting nonetheless.

When Apple makes more on iPhones than HP does on printer ink, then I'll be impressed with the gullibility of Apple fans...

Lol, yes, me too, though not with their 'gullibility' - and as an aside why should people who buy Apple products be seen as 'gullible'? Not everyone shares your values - or mine, of course - but it's no crime to buy a product that looks nice and does what you want.
Cheers, Pete.
