I was going to buy back in today but the more I think about it the more I think tomorrow will be pretty severely down. Japanese GDP numbers come out tonight and IMO could be dismal leading to wide spread agreement that the worlds 2nd largest economy is truely in a deflationary depression. Likewise I think Starr report leaks thru tomorrow may indicate impeachment offenses and unlike Andrew I don't think the loss of the President is factored in yet. Still a tough call since we will likely have short term oversold condition by this PM. Anyone have any comments. Rich

<<Although Adobe has called Apple Computer Inc.'s (Nasdaq:AAPL - news) new iMac personal computer a big opportunity, the engineer quoted by the Mercury News said the changes being considered at Adobe would mean it would no longer make software for Macintosh users.>> The quotation about "no longer making software for Macintosh users" should probably be taken with a grain of salt. The context of the article was with the discussion of the iMac, which is Apple's big consumer push. If the company "would not continue to support the consumer market," this would be true for all consumer markets--hence the comment about the iMac. It's another thing entirely to suggest that Adobe will cease creating such software as Photoshop and Premiere and After Effects for the Macintosh platform. These are applications geared not to the consumer market, but to the "professionals" the article indicates Adobe will focus upon. Given that Apple has a huge share of desktop publishing, graphics, and video editing markets, I think it is safe to say that Adobe was not intending to say they would discontinue support for such markets. Andrew I should know; I'm a digital video editor who knows a -LOT- of people who would be hopping mad if AE/Photoshop/Premiere were discontinued.
