<<, I have come to really like the ability to resize windows.>> Um, what do you mean by that, exactly? If you meaning literally making the windows of an application or of the finder smaller or bigger, then the MacOS already offers such a capability. I suspect, however, you mean something different (although I cannot figure out what). I think Sam must be referring to the ability to resize a window by grabbing any edge, not just the lower right corner. Since Windows allows this and the Mac OS doesn't, I can only assume this is what he meant. There may even be some shareware for the Mac that allows this, but the ability isn't built into the OS yet. Sam, you can resize windows by clicking, holding and dragging on tab at the the lower right corner of any window in the Finder. Hope this helps until something better comes along.

Never stray far from the flock- This is the lesson GTW is apparently learning. I noted a few days ago that GTW had broken from the PE pack with valuations that would have put AAPL at 43-44 (while AAPL was actually at 36-37). Meanwhile, the last two days have seen AAPL higher by 1/2, CPQ higher by a point, and GTW down more than 3 points. The new PE's at close today are: AAPL 18.45 CPQ 18.93 GTW 19.74 A 1.29 spread between the three stocks: high but within reason. GTW had established as high as a 3 point differential from AAPL at one point, equivalent to a 16% differential in valuation. Now, GTW's valuation would put AAPL at 41 7/16, a much more reasonable 7% above current pricing. I believe GTW's recent underperformance is validating the idea that the market does not consistently prefer one stock over the others in determining how much future earnings are worth for the stock. As long as this holds, watching the other two stocks can be a good indicator for where the third might be headed in the short term. Right now, it looks like AAPL and GTW are headed toward each other and perhaps look to meet somewhere between their current valuations. This looks good for AAPL in the short term. Andrew
