Ralph, What am I missing? Of course this is just a guess, but what you may not want to miss is Apple's Superbowl ad. It may be just what you're looking for. Scott

A number of times in the past people expected great announcements only to be disappointed. From my point of view, I'll believe it when I read it or hear it.

My guess: Jobs announces $500 iMac laptop Tuesday I believe that Jobs will announce the supersecret iMac laptop on Tuesday. There has been a lot of talk in the Windows world (see AMD thread) about an "iMac buster," a very inexpensive imitation made in a depressed Asian country (e.g., Korea). A preemptive strike to bust the iMac buster would be an inexpensive iMac laptop for Web use around the home. Research organizations (e.g, IDC) have announced the $500 home computer as the future of computing. Why not have Jobs be the first market? PoorRich ps: After rereading my post, I was surprised at how much my job in the Air Force has influenced my Weltanschauung and vocabulary.
