I dunno. That article seemed kinda pessimistic. Maybe I'm a hopeless
optimist and hopeful Apple stock owner, but I refuse to believe some of
that. Some of the info was very new to me (such as the new latest delays),
and I like to think I am well-informed. I especially cannot believe that
Sys7.5 for CHRP won't come out til next spring, when seemingly stable
demos were shown some time ago (seemed more than vaporware from all the
accounts). And I haven't heard anything about the big CHRP rollout being
delayed, which it will have to be if Sys7.5 isn't ready for it.

By the way, the article is at:
