Alomex, There are a lot of us who don't really LIKE Apple as a buddy. I just am much more productive on an Apple. On the rational side though. Apple Tanked several years ago profit wise. But if you look at each quarter this past year there was steady progress. I'm a design major at UCLA. Apple talks to our "Screwdriver guys". In the past Apple did promise and then not deliver. But that philosophy has passed. Apple now promises very little, but they are delivering. I think the corporate culture has matured. Much like humans mature when faced with crisis. And it is much more conservative. Rhapsody holds great promise. Maybe more that most imagine. Of course it might not catch on. But this is high tech, didn't one of the founders of IBM once say "there is no need for more than 6 computers in the world"? Didn't Gates once pan the graphical interface? If these guy got it wrong who can predict the future. Not too many would have predicted the fall of the database companies a year ago...and I doubt many can predict how fast the internet will be in a year (DSL, T1s in condos, or...). The 9600 350s are now available, OS 8 was fair, 8.1 looks better. Rhapsody is promising (but they had better deliver). The G3s are popular, great machines and cheap!!! I think this could be a good bottom fish myself. The big bottom fish is client/server and who knows what will happen there. Of course its a gamble, but if you don't gamble invest in... Doren
