Well, right now I'm more into "lucrative" than change the world. Apple can try to change the world after returning to profitability. But the doubters are basically right, Apple will need strong partners to change the world again. Apple won't be changing things on their own. We're right where we were August 5. High nineteens, waiting for any news to break through the psychological $20 barrier. Pricing options seems as good a reason as any for what's been going on. Isn't Goldman the banker for the Prince, Jobs, and Apple? Any other guesses as to why we've had the slow gains despite huge volume? It's interesting. Marc

A simple request-- Is anyone going to be watching via satellite while on their computer? Can you post a blow by blow here? I don't have access to the broadcast and need to be at the computer to protect my trading positions. This message board was a great place to be the morning of August 6. Great community spirit. Marc

<<G3 machines seem nice but probably about par with the high-end Intel machines.>> This is the kind of thinking we're trying to fight. You're right in your quote above, but the G3's that're coming out Monday aren't Apple's high-end machines. Apple's high-end machines will blow Intel machines out of the water (processor-wise, at least). And by this time next year, if Apple can manage to stay with the PowerPC chip, Apple will be selling machines that get tasks done before you even think about doing them. All Jobs has been asking for here is for people to start thinking differently about they way they compute. For instance, what if I had a computer on my desktop (let's not even talk about NC's) built around a chip that ran faster and cooler than an Intel-based machine, had an OS that ran Windows and Mac software (and software from any other developer that decided to develop using Rhapsody), and cost less than any other machine that even approximated the same performance? It's amazing to me that it's so difficult for people to imagine this. Let's set aside the (admittedly, very important) marketing questions and just think in terms of the product. The world is a richer place with Apple in it. Mark
