But experts in "the industry" can be dramatically wrong about short-term projections, such as the Summer 1995 projections that Win95 would sell 40 Million copies in 1995. Sales were close to 7 Million copies. Apple has more than enough cash on hand to operate losing $68 Billion a quarter for quite some time. Much longer than experts in "the industry" are capable of projecting... Chris -- Speaking only for myself, of course. Chris Wood christw@lexis-nexis.com ChrisCWood@eworld.com
