AND- Favorable WSJ Article for tomorrow's paper:

For those who pay to see tomorrow's wallstreet journal tonight: interactive.wsj.com

For the rest of you, a summary!

1) Nice front-page line: Apple exceeded analysts' profit
projections for its fiscal second quarter
amid accelerating sales of its iMac and
Power Macintosh computers.
2) Great headline: Apple Profit More Than Doubles
And Beats Analysts' Expectations

By DAVID P. HAMILTON
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

3) Notes from the article
a) Apple beats analysts' projections again.
b) The numbers
c) "Apple sales rose 9% to $1.53 billion from the year-earlier period, a
respectable but not earth-shattering revenue increase that roughly matched
analysts' expectations. But unit sales of Apple's computers rose 27% compared
with a year earlier, to 827,000 units, nearly twice the 14% growth estimated
for the PC industry as a whole by International Data Corp."
d) Results Applauded by Analysts. DLJ and Ziff Davis. Ziff Davis claims 13% market share for Apple, says "amazing."
e) Strong Demand for iMacs. One day inventory stressed.
f) Compare and contrast- CPQ. "Apple's results stand in stark contrast to those of industry leader Compaq
Computer Corp"
g)"Apple officials declined to comment on
unannounced products."
