Under the share split, Apple shareholders of record at the close of business on Feb. 18 will receive one additional share for every outstanding share held.

    Sure - do you accept the Elbonian Eyecrud?

    I, personally, would be buying some o' that fruity goodness right now... were it not for the fact that I'm broke. Worse yet, I'm broke in Australian Dollars.

    Yet another piece of Apple I'm destined to drool over, but never own...
