Phil, how does that currency advantage look now?

I ask because of the NYT snips:

<<International Business Machines Corp., the largest computer maker overall, is expected to report lower earnings for the first time since 1996. The dollar's strength eroded foreign sales and IBM had acquisition-related charges and high sponsorship costs for the Winter Olympics.>>

<<IBM also is being hurt by difficult market conditions in Japan as well as the dollar's strength.>>

What's the dollar at now, 133 yen or so?

Regards,
Marc

Phil,

I talked to the head Apple salesman at the Madison Wi CompUSA a few days ago. He said Apple is running at 19% overall here.

1) he may be full of it
2) Madison is a University town with big graphics presence.

it is regrettable that CPU isn't posting numbers... but good things appear to be within reach.

Richard
