AAPL better hurry and hire Eric Yang I'd be more than happy to work at Apple for a year (for free of course). Not as an executive or anything but at any position that can make a difference to Apple's health. Anyone read the Michael Murdock incident this morning? Hehe..maybe I'll get a prank letter from Jobs and Ellison too. :) I'll probably show up at SF next week but I won't know for sure until tomorrow. Eric

Good fun speculation on Carlton, Jim. I talked with him briefly a month ago. He does like Apple's new direction, except for killing the clones. Maybe Steve could "evangelize" him on that point in a private charm session. Isn't Yocam the Borland CEO? Saw him on CNBC around Nov. 10 and he didn't exactly give a vigorous denial to their questions about him taking the CEO job. Fact: Jobs likes people he knows around him. Fact: Yocam has turned around Borland. (As far as I know.) There's a part in Carlton's book where Yocam tells Steve he loves him but has to support Sculley in the big boardroom showdown scene. Also, supposedly Yocam wanted to be Apple president in 1989 but was thwarted. BTW, we're perking up now. 13 3/8 ask. This is all too predictable. Marc PS--Eric, we'll vote you in on the proxy. <<gg>>

>Carlton won't be the only barbarian at AAPL's MacWorld gate:< I think we better get used to the barbarians. If apple is going to survive, they will play a big role. Rhapsody runs on intel and rhapsody is apple's only hope to remain a big player (and perhaps any player). Box makers aren't married to anyone and don't give a damn what OS they put on their box. It's the Comapaqs of the world that offer us our hope for survival. "Rhapsody? Sure, gimme a copy and I'll load it up - anything to sell a box.". Although they may not be out in force, I am sure some of the intel guys will have Rhapsody loaded and running on at least one demo. I would be shocked if Apple has not ask them to do it. It's no accident they are showing up now for the first time. From now on, there will be a lot of intel machines at Mac expo and that's just what we want. If they stayed away it would be a sure death.
