A very valid point.

Apple's stock went on a similar tear when the original iMac was  
introduced. I don't have the numbers are hand, nor does it really  
matter whether this run or that one was bigger. I think the  
overarching point to recognize is "success" is a bigger word than  
just "sales", "stock price" or "iPod" as it depends dramatically on  
your perspective.
