I am afraid that in the minds of most people the "clock speed race" is not too significant. A is faster today. B is faster tomorrow. A is faster the next day, etc... What will be significant is when Apple can say to intel owners: Buy an Apple computer and you can run all your msft software on it. In other words, install rhapsody, and using the X mode you can run all your currently owned software made to run on win95. - can this happen sometime in the near future?

What a great question, Dirk. I don't know why Motorola does so little advertising of its chips, maybe because they're too busy advertising and selling cell phones? But hell, if Apple can sell 'em, why not? Maybe Motorola will get in the mood to reciprocate one of these days. As far as the forum getting overwrought with partisanship because we're thinking like investors, I'd have to say that my main reason for being here (and espousing the benefits of the Mac) has very little to do with investing. Sure, I hold a paltry number of shares, which I purchased basically on a hunch that Apple had nowhere left to go but up. That and I love their products. I think Apple Computer Co. is a perfect example of why people need to stop thinking like investors sometimes (maybe all the time) and just do something because it feels 'right.' There are myriad examples here of the frustration caused by trying to understand Steve Jobs' motivations. Hell, this guy sold millions of dollars worth of stock on PRINCIPLE! I don't think that fact has sunk into many heads around here. Steve knows, as does everyone else, that now is not the time to piddle around with market analysis and business plans; for better or for worse, Steve Jobs is Apple Computer's last and best hope for a future, and if I could give that guy a good-luck pat on the back before Monday, by God I would. APPLE BOARD MEETING TODAY, no?: <http://www.exchange2000.com/~wsapi/investor/s-6136/reply-5869> Good luck to us all, Marck
