"When is the party?" It depends on when most people would be able to make it. I like to have it as soon as possible...say within a week or two. Eric

I just remembered that Apple is traded in the Japanese stock exchange. John Sculley went over for the ceremonies when Apple started trading there many cherry blossoms ago. So, I went to quote.yahoo.co.jp I don't have Kanji fonts on this machine, but the layout looks very much like the one at quote.yahoo.com. Even if I had Kanji fonts I could probably only make out the numbers. Anyway, I went to what corresponds to "Symbol lookup" in the U.S. version of Yahoo! and lo and behold, it gave a lot of gibberish, but also a hyperlink to "6689". Many Asian stock exchanges use numbers as symbols. So, I went back to the homepage of quote.yahoo.co.jp and entered 6689 and tried to select what looks like "detail quotes". Yahoo! [sic] I got what looked like the quote you get from quote.yahoo.com, with the tiny graph on the right hand side. The graph is exactly like the AAPL graph. I have no idea what a unit of AAPL trades at over in Japan, but, it says 3650 +250 (+7.35%) among the gibberish. So, there you have it, at 7:15 PM Pacific time, Apple is trading up 7% in the Japanese market. (I think... :-) Don't try this at home, kids... Cheers, Kok Chen
