But nooo - chances are we will crawl back in our hole and fantasize about how the world is going to beat a path to our door... - ...and years from now we will say "You know we had our last big opportunity in '98 but again we completely missed the boat. We should have done it like Microsoft - embrace your enemy and then devour them." Actually, what you present is not a bad idea. Seems to me that two important issues are present here, maybe more: -- To what extent is Apple moving away from a hardware-oriented RISC/PowerPC company to a software-oriented provider of operating systems and some additional applications? -- To what extent is the PowerPC model at all viable for the future and whether chips like Intel's Merced can become an appropriate model? I think that those of us who view the hardware side of Apple's business as an albatross around the company's neck would very much agree with you. OTOH, those of us who think that Apple must continue to produce MACS or some future version thereof would generally disagree. Personally, I have had a very difficult time deciding on this issue, and I still don't know which way the company should go. Sam
