>>I do not believe that I had to click through 40+ posts of meaningless argument over speed of x86 vs PowerPC and the price of the new iMac, and found not one about the earnings release today.<< Adam - Really. I tuned in this evening after a bit more than 24 hours away from the thread, I think, and saw that there were seventy-something new posts. I figured everyone was having it out over the earnings announcement, but other than the link to the typical hatchet job by "The Street", there was nothing! Of course, I'm enough of a nerd to join right in with the technogeek discussions. (I must remember not to post on a thread until I've caught up.) I thought the earnings were pretty good, though not great. Haven't had a chance to read through the info carefully. The forward guidance was good to hear. Very gratifying to see 125,000 iPods sold in less than one full quarter, and to hear confirmation that the iMac is looking like a hit, too. Perhaps there hasn't been enough time for Anderson to really know that the iMac will do well, as OrionX said, but I think these people have had enough experience with product introductions to know when a new one has legs. Onward and upward. Shorts beware. - Allen PS: In my own opinion, the people at The Street are a bunch of putzim. I could be wrong, but that's what I think.

and found not one about the earnings release today. You are wrong. There were two on the topic of earnings by yours truly.

yeah, I agree. it's too bad that no one has picked up the mantle from Eric Yang. He used to put out the best pre-earnings reports. better than any publicly released pay-for report. I don't follow aapl closely enough to know if 746M units is above/below expectations. and I can't find any good reports now that Schwab has cut down on their "premium" reports. I loved that Merrill report someone posted right after MW. that was great. anyone have any other good sources of reports like that?
