Let's see... 68 million dollar loss this quarter... times 4 quarters in a 
year... if Apple manages to keep losing money at this rate, they might 
run out of cash sometime around the year 2000. 

Two things would happen first: Apple would stop trying to fight NEC in 
the Japanese market (cutting off the losses we've seen this quarter), and 
someone else would step in and buy Apple before it bleeds to death.
