Doren: What do you think of the Feb vote regarding 400k more shares ? Jobs & Ellison on board ? Do you think Jobs will ever buy back some Apple shares ? -__------------- ------------------- ------------ ----------- ================== ================= ------------------= =

Sadly stock prices are also driven by dilution sec.gov May have accounted for the many 40-80k blocks sold recently . Thought this was to convert at $28/shr: sec.gov Anybody have any input why they are converting now ? Jim K.

Doren, Look at www.tucows.com, they seem to have some lean browsers. I have not played with them but they show them. It is a good idea to seed the market with free R to schools, it might help coupled with some other changes, I have mentioned before. Unix is on death row, pending appeal to several courts. It will hanbg around for a while, but as more stuff gets developed for NT and NT gets ever better as Unix stagnates(yes stagnates) there will be a shift, follwoed bt less money, more stagnation, etc. Unix will keep its working base for along time, but those systems will get ever more isolated until a phone call for support is answered, "sawree,that number is no longer in service" Do not laugh, it is under way now, like negative compound interest for Unix and NT is 15-25% compounded positive. I count Apple as a success not of Jobs doing, he was at the right place and time, and never lived up to his promise. Next was doomed from the start, I knew it and said so to my friends. Pixar was a thrown bone from a friend that Jobs impacted minimally, and might well be on it's way down now. So do not hitch your wagon to a stone, stars are better, and Jobs is not star. Bill
