<<Has anyone else tried to short APM recently? I'm just curious, because I doubt that I would short it now at 17 or so.>>

Larry,
I have shorted APM a couple times since the 11th. Only a few hundred shares. My broker is eTrade(unfortunately).I covered my short today for the moment. But if you ask me, being short APM at any given time is safer then being long. There is certainly no risk of any good news (or any news at all) being released from the company and catching you off guard.

To short a stock is more dangerous than long. Shorts have the
possibility of being called for someone wants your share back. Longs
only have to worry about their margin position.

To play APM good for now, buy when you see it dropped 2 points or
more than buy it and wait to sell when it rises around 1 point.
Also, you can use RDRT and WDC as indicators. When RDRT and WDC
rise and APM falls, buy APM, and when RDRT and WDC drop and APM rises,
sell APM.
