Intuit did not need to make this announcement now, they could have waited until the fall. That leads me to believe that there is no "part 2" to the story in terms of Yellow or Rhapsody. I'm looking for lively discussion about Campbell at the shareholders meeting, ending with his end as a director. Latest rumors from Mac the Knife = MacOS Lite will have strong industry support at WWDC. This is the kind of announcement analysts are waiting for ... one that shows the potential for Sales Growth! Whatever the reaction in the next month (and I am positive short-term) I maintain my prediction of $50 by January 99 MacWorld. ** David

Randy, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to say that developing Quicken for the Mac or even creating Quicken for Rhapsody would be difficult. What I'm saying is that selling the entire project or part of it to Apple for Apple to take over future development of the product is an unlikely event. In fact I think the chance of that is nil.

All: On Campbell, it seems to me that if there's a conflict of interest between his own company and the company on whose board he sits, he has to go with what is best for his own company. But I also think that when that happens and he does something damaging to the company on whose board he sits, he should resign from the board. I am confused about why he didn't resign at the same time, so I think he either does have something for Apple up his sleeve OR he will be resigning separately. Is that an appropriate thing to be announced at the stockholder meeting? Anyone think that is why the Press was barred? Linda
