You probably also noticed that recently(last 5 trading days), whenever AAPL trades over 4 million shares the stock moves up. Obviously then, as long as volume stays up so does the price.

One more thing....University of Texas at Arlington is not The University of Texas. It is a branch of the main campus in Austin.(ie. UC-Berkeley vs UC-Santa Barbara)

Looking for 22+ tomorrow.

FWIW when you quote Williams, Weslayan, Colby - you've chosen a significant portion of the elite private small colleges. They are very highly regarded. Unfortunately, it gets worse. If you look at Stanford, you see the Mac being quietly phased out. Check out the library - no Apples at all. The problem began with the instability of system 7. Then the Apple came up to find out what was wrong. Instead of asking questions, they gave a lot of arrogant answers. The reaction was "whatever", and it has declined steadily. Now I hear of PowerPC's being booted up with RedHat Linux, because it is much more stable, and the Unix programs can be ported from platform to platform, including SGI which run away and hide from the PowerPC's. And finally, I hear of internet content consultants scrapping their Macs with the next upgrade.

Give RedHat a try. Good GUI. Easy to use.

Actually I spent 5 years at the U. of Texas at Austin and found stronger support for Apple than for any other computer maker. I know several of the system administrators there and they prefer the Apple due to its superior operating system. Dell is in Round Rock Texas, and I do see a fair number of those machines also, but the Windows 95 system is just so difficult to maintain.
