When Apple first came out with their computers, they began a process of advertising to anyone and everyone showing the future of home based computers. At reasonable prices at the time, no one company could compete advertising wise. I remember my first set of computers and to this day, still own these ancient relics in my storage. My very first computer was called an Aquarius computer as seen here:

The next computer was called a Timex Sinclair as seen to the right. This

So after nearly 25 years of lots of Advertising dollars, I personally feel that Apple is coming to the end of its very own life-cycle. As these computers went nowhere 25 years ago, we are now starting to see a decline in Mac's own life of computers. Microsoft still has a few years left, but not without some more controversy in the mix. As we begin to see a new dawn in the computer industry with the compliments of Google and the Android technology, we are going to start seeing the decline of Apple. Google is going to become tops in the Computer-Communication arena, but Microsoft will still for the time being hold the true Computer-Business arena. Furthermore, Apple has always been superior in the Graphics Editing portion of the computer industry, but as new better and cheaper technologies are coming out, Apple will no longer be able to cover their bottom line and will have to consider folding up the company before the bottom falls out to save their own face.
