The price performance does seem strange although it seems to be breaking out a bit now 19 7/8. I'm basically from the Intel world although I've been accumulating Apple since Jan 97 and it's now my major holding. I'm quite optimistic now but I've noted that in the Intel world it's almost impossible to get even a rise out of anyone regarding Apple or it's future impact on the computing world. Apple is seen as irrelevant and unable to execute (with good reason). Anyway, with a little luck this lack of price volatility now will translate into more momentum next week when Apple news comes to the fore. Rich

I received my monthly version of Design News today, a mag for mechanical engineering. They listed a UNIX -v- NT comparison. Twenty different mechanincal design packages were listed and none of them can run on an Apple system. Seems to me if Apple wants to become a viable alternative to WinTels they will have to penetrate all markets. The NT market has penetrated into 15% of the total base while UNIX continues to drop. It's just another market niche that Microsoft is expanding.
