Then all the that $$$ : that is spoken of goes bye-bye. Make no bones about it, Apple is in deep : do-do. Let's see... Apple lost about $70 million in a quarter in which it sold 3 million computers. About $23 per computer. So if Apple wants to get back into profitability, all they have to do is raise prices by $25/computer. If they raised prices by $100/CPU, they'd lose a little bit of the bottom end, but they'd be making profits again. The simplest strategy for Apple is to stop trying to meet Packard-Bell's price point, and start competing with *real* companies. -- Chad Irby / My greatest fear: that future generations will, cirby@gate.net / for some reason, refer to me as an "optimist."
