Eddie:

So good thoughts on Apple. Its just too bad that you don't have the same faith in NOVL's Eric Schmidt. Sure the jury is out, but I believe the verdict will be in, in just a few short months.

Hi Eddie,

Glad I drew you over here for a quick visit. You are right about Apple pulling an IBM. The only difference is that we're looking for a triple in a year instead of a quad in four years. :)

Disagree about Jobs taking the CEO job being worth a point or two. I think it is worth twice that, especially at this juncture.

Apple is poised for a breakout. As Eric said a few posts back, is $30 the ceiling or the floor?
