Anyone hear anything about the PowerComputing deal lately? Last we heard was that the deal was on hold temporarily because of DoJ. Because of this PowerComputing seem to be lacking the financial resources to continue its plans to enter the Wintel world. As I understand it, PowerComputing will receive $100 million most of which (75 mil?)in Apple stocks. All this is old news of course... But how will this affect Apple shares when the deal is finalized. Will PowerComputing be able to sell these shares right away to obtain the badly needed cash? Eric

What do you think about this: Microsoft's solution to working up web pages is FrontPage. It costs about $120. There are so many owners (tens of thousands) of the program that ISPs are forced to have NT servers just to handle the traffic. Today we hear what Apple is doing with its best web product: "WebObjects 3.5 is currently shipping from Apple. A single developer seat is $1,500; a single server deployment license for 50 users starts at $7,500. Apple says there are approximately 75 users." Somebody explain to me how Apple expects to get market share with a product that costs $1,500?
