    Okay, so will my 200 shares of apple ever go up and stay up? After several years I have unrealized gains of ... $45. Yay.

    (It's a tiny piece of the portfolio, and I only bought it because I'm a hard-core Apple bigot, but still..now that they are more successful I'm disappointed they still get shafted by wall street).

    Why can't anybody spell "its" correctly? Apple does not want to return to it is former self; it wants to return to its former self.

    Is it true that Al Gore invented the iPod battery, after he had coffee spilt on him at MacDonalds?

    I'd rather have a well-designed MP3 player that has replacable batteries. Which I have.

    I know, I know, it's the wrong brand..... I didn't have a Schwinn bike when I was a kid, either. We laughed at the rich kid as we rode by his house on our Huffys.
