Don, No argument from me....Apple was and is a fantastic product/company. But, there was an investor's moment when everything had gone down the tube. Not unlike where Novl. seems to be heading! <ggg> Waldy

Can two become three From WSJ: The judge's move invited the government to revise its plan to split Microsoft in two, with one company based on its Office software and Internet businesses and a second on its widely used Windows software, the source of Microsoft's monopoly power. Judge Jackson pressed the government on whether this approach would simply create two new monopolies, and spoke approvingly of an alternate plan, submitted by industry trade groups opposed to Microsoft, that would back a three-way breakup, with a third spinoff based on Microsoft's Internet software products. The Justice Department's lead trial counsel, David Boies, answered that a three-way breakup had been considered, but rejected as inefficient, disruptive and possibly harmful to consumers. It wasn't clear, however, whether the judge was advocating such an approach or simply trying to understand the differences among the proposals. There was no indication that the government planned to significantly change its breakup plan by Friday." ============== The Judge gets it but the Clinton administration, fresh from the Woodstock of all fund raisers, probably gets it in a different way.
