>Now the AAPL spokesperson is saying that Jobs has not taken himself out of contention, but the possibility is that the announcement to be made Nov 10 will obviate the need for a CEO.> Is that from the Apple spokesperson? It sounds more like the speculation of the folks at Mac OS Rumors.... Mark

Re your:"the AAPL spokesperson is saying that Jobs has not taken himself out of contention, but the possibility is that the announcement to be made Nov 10 will obviate the need for a CEO." Sounds kind of like a speculative way to spend 12.5 cents.

David; Many moons ago I spoke of the possibility of Apple ending up in someone's hip pocket, and it may just come to pass. I am curious as to what kind of synergy is expected from this match? I have the expectation that Larry will do something unexpected if he does the deal, like wide open licensing and cloning,? maybe not, Oracle is sorta proprietary, and he just might try to completely close that door(and doom Apple, but then Apple et up by Oracle is a doomed Apple anyway) Never have bought a call option. What are they.? Sounds like a premium paid to force someone to sell you Apple shares at $22.5 each on the last trading day in November?, is that right. So if Oracle takes over at $30 you make around 60:1 on your money. Bill
