<<Yes, I am aware of May 11, but I can't see how it could be more important then their Annual meeting..which seems to have hurt more than helped.>> From my own judgement, this conference is the most important event for Apple prior to Rhapsody's sales on the market. Without software, Apple will be like Gateway, Dell, etc. With its own software, the revenue will increase dramatically with more added-values onto the company. Those pluses are the major driving forces for the future surge of revenue/net. New software (such as Rhapsody) will boost additional sales for hardware as well. The software can provide Apple with higher PE with lower risk like other software companies. Phil

Don the AGM didn't hurt the share price but Intuit did The unfinished business stalling AAPL's appreciation is Intuit . If there is a hint in the 4/22/98 promised "deal" of an improvement in Intuit's relationship with AAPL you will see $30 quickly . With that done and aggressively priced PowerBooks on 5/6/98 you will see another spike to $34/shr on/by 5/11/98 . S. Jobs mentioned $34 was AAPL's fair price back in Sept '97 and my speculation is further based on the BOD awarding the appropriate shares in advance of these events . Don't know for sure , that's why I avoid options . Regards, Jim K.

>I am aware of May 11, but I can't see how it could be more important >then their Annual meeting. Shareholder meeting is just business. No shocks. WWDC is to entice developers. At a minimum Jobs need (1) to show the Yellow is a VASTLY superior development environment and (2) to show support for Rhapsody from at least one big name software developer. MacWorld NYC in July is to stir the imagination of the fans and excite Wall Street with hope of sales growth. This means new products. A few weeks in the high twenties shouldn't be too boring. Take advantage of dips, and be patient. The rest of this year is going to very exciting for Apple. ** David
