Mr J bringing Avie along to help Keynote the WWDC is intriguing Avie or "Tevie" as we at the Form 144 publishing company call him was AAPL's point man leading the DOJ's attack . NeXT Step was too much of a needed OS to disappear from the face of the Earth and Tevie is/was its Guru . Last year's WWDC calmed the Mac OS faithful but confused the Rhapsody Unified believers . That also was before the DOJ's action and MSFT's deal with AT&T . Wonder if this year's WWDC will bring that elusive Windows connection to the PowerPC within a Mac OS ? Enywho , 'cook' up your magic again and punish the 144 filers by making AAPL hit $ 52 after they sell ! It could just be a head fake as the week after next options expire . Jim K.

E3 trade show this week, too! Electronic Entertainment Expo e3expo.com booth 4001- Apple Computer <Session 4.1: PC Market Trends Join a panel of experts as they review the explosive growth of the sub-$1000 PC's and discuss the characteristics of the new users entering the entertainment software market. Is the bulk of this growth incremental or is it just expanding the number of PC's in the same households? Is the increase in the installed base driving more software sales or are consumers just responding to eroding software pricing, buying more per PC? What is the impact of the Internet having on the perceived value of software with an increasing amount of downloadable content available free for the taking? These and other burning issues of concern will be addressed by this outstanding group. Moderator: David Gerding, Versive, Inc. Panelists: Brett Faulk, Compaq; Kevin Hause, IDC; Peter Tamte, Apple Computer >

but rule 144 "planned sale" does not mean already sold. look again at the insider charts for AAPL at yahoo finance. two of the three latest registrations are either just repeats of 15 jan entries for the same number of shares, or fresh batches delivered quarterly. of the seven section 16(b) insiders, only cook has had intervening sales matching his 175,000. i believe certain classes of rule 144 stock require re-registration within 90 or 120 days if the shares aren't actually sold. what happened is likely the following -- like many of us, they were watching for a runup to 50 in january. from the yahoo daily tables, there was a high-volume local maximum at 47 on 13/14 january, then a collapse on 14/15 jan. perhaps the collapse was triggered partially by the seven rule 144 registrations! funny thing about the rich, though -- they don't necessarily need the money at any particular time, so, except for cook, they've just waited it out. so at least 6 of 7 are still waiting for that magic 50...
