Zero groath economy means young people would have to wait for an employee to
die or retire to get a job. Wages would be the same (except a slight
increase for inflation) since there is no groath. New industries cant come
up unless and old established one dies.
Maybe what you meant to say was a slow long term groath instead of 100%
increase in sales veery year.

who have
switched (most of whom seem unqualified to monitor their own
shoelaces) have had no impact on their market share. It has stayed
virtually unchanged. The only think keeping the company alive is that
the pool of Apple users spends more per capita then the pool of PC
users.
This is just my opinion, but that's not a sustainable business model. .
Why not? Who says that businesses have to expand? All of this
foolishness about an economy based on constant growth (greed) is
ruining this nation, our quality of life, and the world. The problem
is the businesses that can't survive without constant growth, they're
the poorly run ones. More growth needs more people (more
overpopulation), more houses, more highways, more schools, etc., which
all, in turn, require more growing companies and sources or goverment
revenue to keep the lunacy growing. A dangerous cycle. Stable
companies and a stable zero-growth based economy would surely be a
better business model, but one can't expect most monkey-brained
biz'droids, politicians, or most people, whose minds are rotting from
immersion in dogma and propaganda, to understand something so sensible
and simple.
Of course, I'm not saying that Apple isn't making any big mistakes...
