I'd agree that perhaps right now is not the time, but definitely this year...
Not only not now, but not this year either. Apple will not make a move of that magnitude until the G5 is fully rolled out across the product lines, and AAPL stock reflects this change of fortunes.
When SGI stock dropped below $.50 I thought for sure that Apple would buy them, so I bought SGI (@ $.66 a share). That didn't come to pass, but two months later I sold it @ $4+ per share and was pretty happy about it. But that was then and this is now.
I still believe that a partnership with IBM is much more likely, and much less risky than a purchase of SGI. However, if that does not come to pass then Apple will have to find another way into the high end, and SGI might just help them there.
For those of you who will be available all day Monday (i.e., students not working, teachers not working, people who are taking the day off), could you guys please post a link to the keynote speech after it's been presented for those of us who work (and won't get to find out anything til around 7 p.m. that night)?
I mean, I could probably find it eventually on Apple's website or somewhere else, but it would be great if somebody could put it here straight so we can have the "experience." I want to feel the excitement on the back of my neck!!
Oh, yeah, and if nothing comes out but Panther, don't worry about doing anything.
Do you think that somebody from IBM will get up on stage with Steve during the Stevenote? I seem to recall something on MR about this, but can't find it now.
If so, do you think he will discuss:
General technical overview (advantages of 970, bakeoff, et al)?
Developer-related stuff (we see here how the ALU and FPU share their design with the Power 4 blah blah)?
Business-related stuff (Apple and IBM will be working together to provide processors for all future Apple computers, etc.)?
No trivia today. It just doesn't matter right now.
Still in shock."
I have to say that i'm excited too...but at the prospect of seeing my boyfriend after 6 months. (Not had sex in a long time). So at the moment i really couldn't care less how many MHz the G5 is gonna be

Why have a sale 4 days before your stock goes out of date? That's what you do 4 weeks before a keynote.
