Patrice; If IBM takes over Apple they will renovate them to death, and AAPL will end up institutional green, in IBMs waist coat pocket for display to others. Only shareholders would like this for the short term gain. In the long run IBM will stultify AAPL. Bill

It makes sense that IBM may buy out Apple since most of Apple's sales are on hardware, which is provided by IBM and Motorola. Under IBM's umbrella, Apple will surely survive and Mac users won't be worried about if Apple products exist tomorrow. IBM seems to acquire one or two companies per year in its historical records. Under current IBM's cash-rich condition, I have no doubt on their intention. Especially, IBM will push PowerPC chips cheaper using copper technology and will produce such products from this month. I think they may carefully calculate the price of owning Apple and come out with a feasible and profitable result. On the other hand, Jobs will make a speech next Tuesday at 9 am pacific time, which means Apple price will be continuously speculated for 1.5 trading days. Last time, Jobs requested us to give him 90 days and we already gave him more than that, so it is time for him to deliver his accomplishment record during this quarter. I hope it is better than Gil's. After MacWorld, there will be quarter report on 1/14, which will reveal how good/bad Job's performance is. The shareholder meeting will be held next month, I certainly hope Jobs has been prepared for what he has accomplished during his 6+ months' interim CEO. Gee, the show time will be kicked off soon.

Hi Patrice...Don't think the shorts have covered yet IBM needs to determine the DOJ's effect on MSFT and may settle for a strategic alliance with AAPL for now. S. Jobs may have used the CEO interviews to gain strategic info for AAPL as M. Markkula's NYT 9/1/97 interview notes it took 2 years (without a CEO) to hire Sculley in 1983: search.nytimes.com AAPL earnings look good as it will retrieve $50 mln from the $75 mln it reserved for the Power deal but hasn't filed a 8K with the SEC yet. Amelio's $1 bln bondholders appear to have converted and if so will save AAPL another $60 mln/year in interest or 0.05/share annually. Large volume buyers drove AAPL up on Friday , MacWorld will now kick in , and the annual (report) meeting / new Board proxy should continue the spike upward to un-nerve the shorts. Regards, Jim K.
