10:30AM EST Gil Amelio will be interviewed on CNBC. He says, according to a host, that Jobs called him a bozo. Where did we hear that before? CNBC said earnings are expected to be $.16. Wondering, if they sabatoging our good earnings by bringing on Amelio today.
Ed: I explored Apple store for my purchase and found it would be cheaper and faster by mail order catalog. I wanted DVD, too, but that was the only item I couldn't get from mail order catalogs and now I'm glad I didn't wait for i. Apple Store also told me, two weeks to build and then they had the DVD option still in place. They charge tax and the mail order catalogs don't. Mail order catalogs ship overnight and reduced the price by quite a bit, comparing between them: they'd each beat each other's price. I also found I could buy some of the options separately cheaper and install them myself, like the RAM, the extra extra-wide SCSI drive, and the extra graphics accelerator card. In all, I saved quite a bit for the same machine bought outside the Apple store, but I didn't get the DVD. And it sounds now, Apple isn't giving it to anyone. I'll be curious about why, too.
Anyone: Conference Call info, please? I promise not to complain about the repair of my Mac during the call. hah!
Thanks.
