HP is a well-known company, but the stock looks terrible. The price sticks around 60's for almost entire year. The money managers just sympathize HP's old brand situation. On Unix field, most of enterprise chooses Sun Micro. On Wintel, Compaq and Dell are more popular. Well, it's a shame that you have worked in there for 30 years. Probably you should switch to work for Sun Micro or Compaq, at least you will be richer from the stock buying program. Hmmm, probably you are too old to change job. Phil

He is configuring a "good, better, best" setup for computer packages for our school, and he let me in on what products we will offer. The "best" will simply be a G3 desktop, the "better" will be a G3 AIO at $1300-$1500, and the "good" is some sort of G3 based machine at the $1000 price point. He did't have too much information about the $1000 machine except that Apple had told him not to fill the "good" catagory pending an anouncement from them in April or May.<< The thought of a complete G3 system for $1000 dollars is one that we are excited by here, and one that will provide a performance/dollar raito that our windows vendors will not be able to match. With yesterday's prices being the single unconfirmed detail, perhaps there is even greater reason to be optimistic about the price/performance of Apple's latest product line?< macosrumors.com >Nothing is so sad as the blind who do not wish to see.< Except the sighted who refuse to look. soup

<<I have worked at HWP for 30 years, I know many people, both technical and non, I know of no one who has purchased an Apple product during the past year, in fact people laugh when Apple is brought up in a discussion.>> HP is also the company that once INSISTED that personal computers would NEVER make it as a consumer product. Who's laughing now?!

Well, you seem to be the Sweet fool. Apple's new AIO machine for schools is priced at $1500, not $5000, including monitor. It is designed specifically with requirements for schools systems. At that price, schools will snatch them up, especially those still deciding whether to upgrade Apple equipment or switch to Wintel. Only problem, I doubt it will help Apple's bottom line short term, since these have to be shipping at very slim to no margin.
