Uh oh. We need a reliable representative to attend the meeting and report the news to us. Do we have a volunteer? Linda

Eric, This Intuit announcement has being driving me nuts for the last 24 hours. It just doesn't make any sense. I remember seeing a listing of the best selling software across platforms at the end of 97' and I recall that Quicken for Mac was among the top 3 or 5 of all titles. And of course, there's the fact that Bill Campbell sits on the Board. And then there's the timing. Right between the earnings announcement and the shareholder's meeting. I just get this feeling that something's up. I just picked up the following post on the Yahoo board: Ace, Your not supposed to know this by Intuit is on the Apple Board as has cut a deal with Apple to sell them their killer app "Quicken" so that Apple can develop two versions: (1) Mac OS 8.1 compatible and (2) Rhapsody "Blue Box" compatible. Don tell anyone. Thanks. I'm wondering if something like what this poster suggests is going to go down at the shareholder's meeting. I just can't see Job's bringing Campbell on board just to have him stab Apple in the back. Part of the shareholder business involves their okaying Campbell as a new board member. Thoughts anyone? Scott
