[SunRescue] RE: Apple was: That maddening cycle...

[Hatle, Steven J.]

Apple has 4 billion some dollars in cash (that's a 'b'). Even at dot.com
burn rates, it will be a while before they close the doors.

Much more likely that if the stockholders get ugly, Apple might be acquired,
say by Sun, or Sony or someone like that.

Of course, what do I know- I'm a computer guy, not a Wall St. analyst. But
I've done my part- I've got 3 Lisas, two Newtons and an Apple ///. <grin>

The short answer is that they're not.  I just read a fiscal statement
for
Apple - looks pretty grim.

Remember when MS pumped millions into Apple?  Who's next?  Maybe Sun
will
contribute a few million.  I'd hate to see them go, their computers
are
certainly some of the most sexy looking computers out there - and
work great
too!
