Richard - Re: " Why the combative attitude." My opinion of Apple stands. You seem to think that a quick profit on some Apple options tells something about the company. Apple is an elitist company - they continue to offer products that appeal to their niche market. That market is about 3 or 5% of the TAM. Apple used to be larger than Intel and larger than Microsoft. Those days are long gone forever. Why don't you buy some more Apple at today's prices and show us all how confident you are of their future. As far as innovating, the iMAC uses Intel's INVENTION the USB - as its most important technical feature. That is innovation but it is INTEL INNOVATION - and a minor wake-up for Apple. Paul

Attaboy Richard! I've worked and own a business that is all Mac. I own just 150 shares of INTC. I cut my teeth on DOS 1.?? and just thank God for where I am. I used to live in Dallas ( for 20 years) and now I'm 3 minutes from my office during rush hour (no rush hour). All of this bliss is attributed to the computer. Sooner, probably, rather than later, I suspect there will be but one platform. Why all the Apple bashing. It doesn't make sense. A computer is a computer is a computer. C'mon guys, give it a break and lets keep the thread going for what it is! Signed, Grew up on a 64k IBM PC, currently using a Mac G3, and whatever the hell tomorrow brings will be just fine. thank you very much.
