Apple v. Dell

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

Way back when—October 6, 1997, to be exact—Michael Dell was asked what he'd do if he were running Apple. His reply? “What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.”

As of the close of market today, Apple Computer, Inc. is worth more than Dell, Inc.

Apple is worth $161,720,000 more than Dell.

Tipping point or technicality? You decide.

Today I was stupid.

I had trouble waking up this morning, so I was late to my first physical therapy session, and in my haste I forgot to take my pain meds. Then I felt OK enough to stop at my doc's, stop at my eye doc's and most importantly, felt well enough to forget that I forgot to take the pain meds.

All that activity—including walking up, then down, a flight of stairs—and after lunch, BOOM. It all hits.

I wasn't “ahead of the pain” anymore and I've been utterly miserable all fucking day long. I took meds—the minimum—and took a little more (still within the prescribed limits) and I'm more loopy than anything else.

Yep, pretty loopy. Is my typing slurred?

On another note, Soonae, of Cafe Commons, celebrates her birthday today. She's one of my best friends in the world and one of the most giving and selfless people I know. And her memory will scare you.

Oh, and lidocaine patches are from Heaven.
