It's a mad mad mad mad world indeed, Phil. I've been thinking that now that Apple is really putting a push behind its new case designs that it might be cool to have a page on MacEvolution (for example) that compares the best of Apple's design offerings with the best designs from Compaq, Dell, etc. This may sound a bit frivolous at first, but I think it would be a cool means to demonstrate yet another way in which Apple is committing itself to excellence in the home, office, and classroom PC markets. Those new cases for the pro models sound like they're going to be very, very cool, and let's not even get into the iMac! Long AAPL at 19.5 and loving it. Marq

Phillip: AAPL's close today at 36.875 ties the second highest close for AAPL this year, which occurred on 7/17/98. The year's high occurred when AAPL closed at 37.50 on 7/16/98, after AAPL reported profits for 3Q. And there was no substantial news reported today. Seems like a very good thing. The iMac cometh..... GO AAPL! RAH! RAH! Kurt

I think somebody who are eager to get in are waiting until the final minutes. Phil, what do you mean by 'final minutes?' Are you talking about iMac's debut or something sooner? There are still six trading days between now and then. For people to jump in now is a bit early if they are waiting until the end. I agree with you that people are jumping in. I think investors are realizing what a good value Apple is and the potential for upside surprise when units sold in the first several days is announced. Although there were times today when Apple looked sluggish and under distribution, it had an upward bias to the price and volume. The second consecutive day closing at its high is very bullish. BTW, Apple opening down almost a point on low volume after yesterday seemed weird and suspicious. I think we are a bit before the 'waiting to jump in' phase ends,', but I'll wager that we will really see 'jumping in' next week. This stock seems to be setting up for an explosion that could carry all the way to options expiriation, if iMac sales exceed expectations. I still think we will touch or exceed 38 tomorrow, although we will probably pull back from it. Who knows what next week will bring upside. Sam
