<<Take into account that there are many like me. If you follow other Mac threads you will find that Mac land is not the paradise some would have you believe. It's a nice place still but not as nice as it was.>> As an investor since 8/97 I ask, when was it better?

Doren: >Went to QT streaming conference today. Not much of a conference 10 to 20 booths. Mostly tried and true companies, Macromedia, Adobe. Several companies offering alternatives to QT streaming server software. I'm still interested in this software but I decided to leave after about 20 minutes. Didn't see anything compelling or new.< No mention of Akamai or Novell yet they had important NEW product demo related to being able to control the flow of live streaming info. It's not the old story of trying to hold Apple away from being criticized its about being factual and complete. Like you I have also been here almost two years. Quietly. As an investor and a retail consumer. I have been well rewarded in both instances. Your concrete reasons are always the same: Apple has not provided a product that meets your specific need or follows along with what your specific recommendations / requirements seem to be. How do you reconcile the success Apple has had, both on Wall Street and in the marketplace, with your concrete reasons as to why they should be unsuccessful? Your reasoned arguments might just be helpful to both of us. Don T.
