Mac Expo in France will take place from Sept. 16th-20th and Jobs is going to make a speech. Some news may be revealed by then. Phil

You have a record of flip-flopping on your positions on various issues and usually end up being wrong at the end anyway. You call it flip-flop, I say its processing new evidence. Back when the iMac was announced, the most realistic scenario was that it would suffer from the price being too high. However on the face of evidence I have to change my initial forecast. To you, it would be better if I had stuck with my guns instead of "flip-flopping" on the basis of the facts, as if this was a religion. Your posting gives us wonderful insight into the mind of apple zealots. Of course, you couldn't sign off without a bit of reality distortion: usually end up being wrong at the end anyway. You like to repeat that every so often but it still not true. Facts are that I was bearish when this stock was going down to $13 and a bit back up to $18, neutral during $18-27, and bullish during the last run-up from $27 to $39. All in all, during the last 36 months I was right for 32 months and wrong for 4. A bull like you, on the other hand was wrong for 26 months and right for 10. That is what I call stupid... Feeling stupid yet?

Well, I got to thinking: "Eric accused me of making up my trades, has refused to accept that I've been right quite often and that the bulls wrong as often". mmhhh.... That speaks tonnes about the sort of person he is and the things he would do. Taking this to its logical conclusion, I thought: I better go and check the posting from which he got my quote, as he cannot be trusted. So here is the full paragraph, on July 17: I'll go out on a limb and say that we might see yet again another quarter of flat revenues, to be followed by a stellar december quarter. That already reads quite differently. Now read the preamble: Now we know. It gapped down slightly. About revenues next quarter, I think sales of G3s are decreasing, as the installed base that was about to upgrade already did. The iMac will hopefully reach another segment of the Mac user base that found the G3 pricey. Meanwhile sales of low end G3s will decrease in expectation of the iMacs. Will the AIO and PBs be enough to compensate for lost sales? Will the iMac have enough time to save this quarter? (I think Anderson said, iMacs will mostly impact next quarter, not this).
