Year end target: $35 if AMP/Rhapsody bomb, and $45-50 if AMP/Rhapsody turn out great.

Recent news out of Cupertino makes it sound like these two products aren't going to bear as much responsibility for securing Apple's future as once thought. Eric might be able to shed more light, but it seems to me that this quarter was due in large part to the consumer's need for speed. Rather than AMP/Rhapsody, how 'bout the G4, FireWire, Adobe's K7, and a new MacOS that takes advantage of much of Rhapsody's best pieces and drives all those current G3 owners nuts with glee? Get 'em into the fold and then start blinding them with science (with apologies to Mr. Dolby).

Now if the Bulls can only beat Detroit tonight....

Apple has succesfully completed its transition
to niche player, with high-margin, fast boxes while
rapidly reducing costs.


That's a pretty obnoxious statement, even for you.

If you're talking about companies selling boxes, as in "high-margin, fast boxes while rapidly reducing costs", then everyone -- Compaq, Dell, whatever -- are all niche players.
