Justa, re<<<<Marc: Nice gain on Apple. When did you buy it and what caused you to buy it?>>>>>>

I bought it in 1997 after Jobs was back involved and Gates/MSFT got cozy and invested $150mm in it and agreed to having software like Office etc. released for Macintosh at the same time as Windows. I decided they were no longer going to go into a death spiral which was the prevailing wisdom at the time. I bought it for 26 and rode it down to 13 before it never looked back again. Also since I have a Mac I look at several Mac specific sites along with other sites daily so I can delude myself into thinking I have a good idea of what's going on on a daily basis
