Well, I just didn't see what it was about the half-million in on-line sales that you found so irresistibly funny. So I peeked under your skirt, and saw your shorts. Sorry for the public exposure. L.H.

Electronic Store First Impressions: 1. you buy a basic configuration and allowed to add on. It's not ground up built-to-order. Sort of like any other big company like Dell so I can't critize this. 2. Prices look very competitive. 3. It should help shore up Apple sales. News brief on TV: 1. analysts disappointed no CEO successor yet chosen. 2. Jobs is catering to an existing customer base (he even said on TV that selling to an existing customer is easier) - (Geez, his marketing skills sure lack here considering Apple's market share is almost dropping below 3.3%) 3. Strategy more style than substance. 4. No long term strategy on company's survival. These are all negative points. The stock was a great buy at the $16 level in the small crash and a good stock to sell before the announcements. I expect it to drift lower again along with the whole market. Currently sitting on cash which is a nice rest considering the market upheaval which has affect tech stocks more.
