Friday December 5 3:17 PM EST Umax November Sales Jump 71 Pct TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's computer and image scanner maker Umax Data Systems said today its November sales jumped 71 percent to a monthly record from November 1996. The November sales broke a previous record of T$1.513 billion marked in October, the firm said in a statement. The company said the revenue growth was due to increasing sales of its scanners and computers. The firm's January-November sales totalled T$13.3 billion, the statement said. Umax, which started producing network computers from the fourth quarter, said the company was confident it could attain its T$15 billion sales target for 1997. The company has set a 1997 pretax profit target of T$1.46 billion. Umax and its U.S. unit Umax Computer Corp are among several Asian manufacturers licensed to design and make Mac-compatible "clones" that run on Apple's popular Mac OS operating system.

Agreed!! I use to be in business and I may be too melodramatic but to me if a business with a product as good as Apple's is destroyed by poor management that is tanatamount to murder. To me a business with guality products and innovative talent that Apple still has is a thing of beauty. I have the following phone number of a Colin Clover: 408-974-9115 who called me when I e-mailed a critique of Apples charging for the helpline. From talking to him I think he is close to Jobs or maybe his office is close to Jobs. I couldn't understand completely his message on the answering machine. To Apple's credit he called again and I told him what I thought of the new policy. In the end, he said a corporate decision was made to charge because others are charging and he gave Microsoft as an example. I also got the following e-mail addresses for two people who may be in public relations. These e-mail addresses use to be at the bottom of Apple pages. I hope the addresses are still good. I will begin to give them an ear full. Tami Begasse: begasse@apple.com Cara Lewis: cara@nrgpr.com
