AMP/Columbus

Question: Why the hell would I want an interactive/DVD/internet machine for my TV set?

Answer: Who knows?

The rumored AMP machine seems to have caught a lot of people's imagination. From what little details I know (assuming that the rumors are true), I can't imagine why anyone would want one of these things. For a similar skeptical perspective, check out readers' comments in today's Macintouch.

Dobr your perceptions correctly predicted a 1Q PROFIT on 10/15/97

All the "cranks or bears" were here like now predicting a loss for AAPL plus a share price of $6 , but you firmly disagreed :

" Tech ... even though I disagree with your estimate ( my guess is 8 cent profit for the Q), you are a reasonable and intelligent AAPL bear. Not many exist "

Message 2448914

That was almost 3 months before S. Jobs stunned MacWorld on 1/6/98 with a "1Q profit"

I won't argue with you now that you perceive the delayed proxy will contain major news . I check EDGAR daily for its amended filing .

Congrats on your correct estimate at a truly dark time for nervous AAPL shareholders,

Jim K.
