Apple has been smart and conservative in its investments, financial dealings, and product development. They won't put out a netbook just because analysts want them too and they won't cut prices just to increase market share.
The recession was caused by all those doing, pretty much, the exact opposite.
It was caused by people who were more interested in turning a profit then producing a quality product. What do you think toxic assets are? They're just the financial equivalent of a netbook...3-5 years out and they start falling to pieces. The computer manufacturers are just smart enough not to guarantee them for that long!
