AppleInsider covers a paperless purchases system used this Christmas season by Apple in its retail stores which Apple has considered a success. The EasyPay system will be used in all retail experiences. It is paperless because the receipt is emailed to the customer, much like a web purchase.

While there is a lot of history to Apple, what I think of is how close the pundits were in predicting the fall. This is what makes the present (last 4-5 years) impressive, where Apple is now shipping nearly 1 1/4 million computers (2 million for this quarter would not be out of line considering the increased market share) and 10 million iPods. Thus, CIO names Apple’s astounding success as one of the top 10 stories of 2005.
