    Default kick at

    Would you please find me some other expression of the following in red? How about "tempting" or "stimulating"?

    Even as Apple was introducing new iPods and iPhones, it was also remaking its Macs with new creations..... The personal computer business, which so many people had declared dead a decade ago, still was alive and kicking at Apple.

    Thank you.

    It's 'alive and kicking' (very much alive) 'at' (in) Apple

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
