Phillip, our problem is that Apple circumstances are different than the other
boxmakers. Even when we get the growth that I think everyone here expects; I
certainly do, Apple still may not be awarded a PE much above where we're at. Why,
because for every analyst that believes a true PE is warranted there will be 2 on the
steet who believe Apple is simply refreshing it's existing base which may or may not
still be shrinking slowly, ie. the company is still dying.

Quite true. Apple really needs to grow market share again, and the future of the Mac OS and Rhapsody are critical for this. We got some indication that market share went up last quarter to 4.0%, but the trend has to continue for the buying public and developers to get back on the bandwagon. I still hear the great unwashed say things like "isn't Apple going out of business?" and "didn't Apple file for bankruptcy?".
