  • Dear I,Fred, et al: Gartner group did a large study of PCs in mid 2002 (that's just one year ago). This study found that the AVERAGE (not the low end, not the high end) the AVERAGE yearly cost of supporting a PC in a business was $511. $511 pe…
  • The institutional investors are the biggest movers of AAPL's price. They already have bought the stock they wanted regarding any WWDC announcement. They bought weeks ago, when it was $13 a share. For the last several weeks, they've been trading at t…
  • Aww geez, read what I wrote. Blindly dollar-cost-averaging means that you may buy at highs. SInce the method is to purchse on a schedule that NEVER takes into account the cost of the equities, it is a very fallible method. I intend to say that…
  • Moki, Moki, Moki. Just can't stand it anymore.
  • Dollar cost averaging is only slightly better than useless. NEVER buy stocks using DCA. Always buy several times per year, looking for spots that are near the lows. Learn if your chosen stock tends to collapse in one particular quarter or …
  • Don't forget SHORT-selling. IF a company, Like say PIXAR is priced way high, sell a couple of hundred shares (that you DON'T have) and then buy to cover the sale in a month or so when the stock falls 20%. This way you can make money when a sto…
  • Hey, maybe Apple's bought Real for 1 Bil. And maybe they bought Id software. And Sun. And SGI. I've heard that MSFT is a bargain these days, too.... Over the top? me? You must be joking.

  • DaveGee, It's OK, Barto and I like to spar. I think he's an immature kid and he thinks I'm a dumb hillbilly. I'm sure I'm wrong about him, but he may be right about me. I'm just jealous that he has so many thousands of posts.
  • Even with the FP iMac's advantages, as you list them, it still has no additional effect on Apple's marketshare beyond upgrading Mac users. Lots of folks say they admire the look and functionality of the machine, but they still don't buy them. …
  • Barto, shove yer "troll." If the FP iMac was such hot stuff, how come they haven't sold 30 Million of them? How come they didn't double Apple's marketshare with them? The FP iMac is pretty, is very functional, but is still not a Great machine …
  • "Way beyond the Rumor sites"???? Come the hell on. That was a disappointing show. WHee, Flat flipping panel iMac (Who the hell cares about that overpriced, underpowered piece of self-masturbatory design?). ooo, iPhoto, Whee. Nice, but no…
  • Aw, Geez. CNET: Fifty lemurs banging on keyboards.

  • Tenon systems is selling the OS 9 apache software (including mail server) for $99 now - closeout pricing. It's called WebTen or something like that. Look at the headline on Macnn, or visit www.tenon.com (i think).
  • Ok, it's been a while since I delved into the programmin' aspect of this, but Quark is claiming that XPress is a Mach-O app. That it has access to a lower level of the OS for more APIs, more functionality. WTF are they yammering about?
  • She arrived yesterday. I unpacked her (no digital, but did take a couple of real film shots - coming up in a day or so), and put her on the charging station for a couple of hours while I oohed and ahhhed over the software, etc. She's "Cyber Blue"…
  • My Aibo arrives later this morning. Now to come up with a name for the thing. Daschle, maybe, as in "Tom Daschle, you ignorant smuthound, evil, incompetent, lying, SOB." Or maybe Bob. (Think Marathon.) 8)
  • If there are new computer cases, there must be new LCD display cases - to do otherwise would be like wearing polka dots and plaids. Neon pink polka dots on yellow with Scotch Plaids. Ohhh, the fashion calamity!
