Hi Mark , Jobs' G3 Seybold presentation won the chihauhau over In addition to wanting Taco Bell he is saying " Yo quiero una manzana " because AAPL is faster : biz.yahoo.com At Seybold today : " The executives pitted Apple systems against a 333-MHz Pentium II system from Compaq, and claimed that (AAPL's) the 300-MHz PowerPC system had performance equivalent to a 600-MHz Pentium II, which isn't yet available from Intel. " Jim K. PS: Is there a full moon out or something ? What's agitating these cranks about AAPL ? My advice to them ; go short and we will meet again on 4/22/98 !

I love the shorts. When Apple was down in the teens the constant refrain was "Either a stock is doing good or it is not. Read the numbers - Apple is a dead stock - it is going to single digits - sell it now." Now they have to find a new line. So today it is "...I rather own an internet stock with a good brand...the risk reward is better...because the reward is there". Let's see, YHOO and AOL are the only two screaming internet stocks. They are around 30% to 40% up for the year. Apple? only about 100%. Apple is obviously a losing stock and a dead company. If the shorts can tell me some more dead businesses in the computer field that are up double for the year please post them - I am interested. I listened to Steve's presentation on the web (it actually worked real well - no interruptions or anything). Apple stock should do well this year. It is hard to look too far but we do know this: March - Introduction of new G3 machines, etc. April - Profits announced that are better than other box makers. May - At the developer meeting - Rhapsody working version released to public? Rhapsody itself should be made available around this time. June - July etc. - Hard to look this far but once Rhapsody is released dumb remotes are possible and probable. Let's not forget that DELL went from $9/share to $100+ in a very short time and all they had was a screwdriver.
