I hate to get drawn into a Mac vs PC's scream fest BUT the statement "Apple, for the past few quarters, has the fastest computers on the market" is incredibly misleading. Apple has been pushing that the G3 is faster than then Pentium II in a bunch of ads. Yeah, using one benchmark, the Byte integer test. In every day use (launching apps, copying files, etc.), I'd much rather be using my Pentium Pro (200 Mhz) that my G3 (233). The G3 crawls compared to my PC. Of course, it's the 10 year old OS to blame. If you wanted to compare Java benchmarks, a Pentium II is about 10x faster than a G3. Back onto the subject though...Does anyone think that the new CEO made this quarter's results as bad as possible so that he could improve the situation in the future. I for one am looking forward to seeing the balance sheet and see if they've paid all their bills early, cleared out a bunch of inventory and pushed off some orders (low accounts receivables). I was in CompUSA today and the various Metacreations software seemed to be selling well. The shelves were half empty at least. Werner Sharp
