Anyone, One thing I cannot understand about Apple: Since they already have the design of older somewhat outdated computers, why do they stop building them? For example, why not keep building and selling 7200s? It seems to me that they should be able to make a profit on these as the cost of the chip is less, no design overhead (its been paid for), cheaper ram prices. It seems to me that if they kept the profits same as the new G3s they would sell to the $1000 and under market, and I think that anyone who really needed power would still spend the extra $600 for a G3s. Anyone know? doren

The consensus estimate on Apple's current quarterly earning (Q2) has been moved from $0.11 to $0.14, and yearly earning has been shifted from $0.45 to $0.78, based on Yahoo's Apple's research column. Who have adjusted their estimates? I think as the Q2 reports get closer, the numbers will be moved again. Phil
