Don Crabb suggests topics for AAPL's 5/11/98 Keynoter All the speculation is there except he recommends AAPL taking the Internet edge (Windows/98) away from MSFT with MacOS 8.? : wired.com But how ? AAPL bundles MSFT IE 4.0 with MacOS , unless AAPL's Java Virtual Machine additions will be used to enhance the MacOS versions . Then again there is Rhapsody which is not controlled by the MSFT/AAPL agreement for MacOS supporting IE 4.0 and MSFT Office/98 . Maybe 5/11/98 will exceed Don Crabb's speculations . Jim K.

Jim, Apple seems to figure out how to sell low-end Mac to increase their market share in Q4 or Q1 of '99 based on voices from the president of Apple Japan. I can accept the sub-$1000 low-end Mac. For $500 Mac, I don't know if it's going to be popular, which is Oracle's concept. I hate to see we are going back to mainframe's centralized age. I shy away from options as my investing rules too. For a trivial amount I could afford to lose, I wouldn't mind buying options just for fun. I certainly believe investing long-term on Apple's stock will make a small fortune particularly in '98 and '99. I appreciate Linda and David's advice, but I really have no much time on tracking those options. My job is still on software development for DoD. Phil
