Apple Goes To College Date: Friday, September 13 @ 01:10:46 EDT Topic: General Macintosh News According to an announcement that was received today Apple is heading to college. 23 colleges to be exact as a sponsor of the Thunderdorm College campus tour. Alloy Inc’s media arm 360 Youth and the Computer Electronics Association assembled the tour. The tour will span through 23 of the leading college campuses and will reach over 50,000 students. The purpose of the Thunderdorm tour is to introduce today’s youth to the newest and most red-hot technology out there and to provide them with interactive demos. Each tour stop will last for a period of two days per college campus and will feature events that highlight the ultimate dorm room. This feature should be reminiscent of the Ultimate Mans Bedroom Segments found on ABC's hit TV show Home Improvement and will likely preview a dorm room with the most wildest technology out there. The Ultimate Dorm room is mobile and resides in a custom-fabricated trailer created specifically for the tour. Other features that will be played out during the tour include general multimedia product demonstrations, a live DJ, a Buzz Net audio pavilion, and contests. The Thunderdorm will be running from now until November and will be visiting the following locations: College Fest, Boston, MA, 9/14-15; Rutgers, New Brunswick, NJ, 9/16-17; * Penn State, University Park, PA, 9/19-20 * Kent State, Kent, OH, 9/23; * Ohio State, Columbus, OH, 9/25; * George Mason, Fairfax, VA, 9/27; and * NC State, Raleigh, NC, 9/30 The Thunderdorm website did not indicate the level of Apple’s participation in the tour, however, I would think that it’s a safe bet to assume that they will be giving away Macintosh Computers and other Apple branded merchandise as prizes. I would also assume that Apple Computers would be the most prominent computer system displayed in the Ultimate Dorm Room. More information on the tour can be found at: thunderdorm.com

Could it be that some institutions are hedging their bets on apple in the short term? Hard to believe that apple would trade at or below their cash value which 12.50 should be right at. Neal

Wall Street sources detail significant trading By Nick dePlume, Publisher and Editor in Chief September 20, 2002 - Trading floor contacts on Wall Street passed along their observations of some of the more important trading of Apple stock (Nasdaq: AAPL) in recent days. Sources said that Janus, the mutual fund giant, has been selling significant amounts of Apple stock to meet redemptions and prevent losses from growing, having purchased AAPL in the higher teens. Word on the street is that company management doesn't hold Apple in too high regard, and that there's a chance Janus might dump its Apple holdings. "When Janus dumped its shares of AOL it cratered the stock for a week," a source pointed out, referring to April 2002, when Janus -- AOL's largest shareholder -- unloaded 25% of the stock. "Expect to start seeing serious volatility" if Janus does the same for Apple, the source projected. In other AAPL news, Fidelity has been the biggest seller of Apple stock of late, apparently pushed by consistent reports of slowing worldwide PC demand as well as a dearth of flashy new Apple products. Taking the opposite position, Lord, Abbett & Co. --already a large holder of AAPL, according to one insider -- has been purchasing huge amounts of the stock to hedge against the rest of the sector. As for our report last month of sizable corporate purchases? Word has it that the purchase in question was an international buy. As of yet, this point is unclear and unconfirmed. AAPL closed Thursday at $14.58. thinksecret.com
