...but Apple is a publicly traded company.

I feel like one of us got whooshed, though I'm not entirely sure who.

With an entirely proprietary lineup

Sure. But that's unrelated; Apple is a publicly traded ("public") company. IKEA, for example, is a privately funded ("private") company. Being largely proprietary is separate from the ownership structure...

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
