Apple got a final nice combat today with about 12,000 shares (as buy) kicked in around 3:30 PM (according to 1-minute interval graph). I think this probably was a computer trade-in program based on today's slow-trading scenario. Today's pattern is similar to one of last week's, that was traded slowly with low volume, and maintained at $18.75-$19 near three hours, and then buy program suddenly moved in to boost the final closed price. We'll see if Apple will test and break $19.75 barrier tomorrow. Phil

Eric, >>Are you sure that RS-6000 AS-400 uses PPC 750? As far as I know all RS-6000 series of servers are based on either Power2 or 604e. Power2 is a 64-bit implementation which benefits server applications. 604e is much more "multi-processor friendly" than 750 so I don't think 750 were used in these servers.<< Actually no. I (perhaps stupidly) assumed that the RS-6000 and AS-400 series would be upgraded like the Macs. Does anyone know? Anyway the 604e computers were plagued by underestimation also and so the question remains: who or what is the reason? Doren
