Team,
Today is a historic day of sorts for our company. When I arrived back at Apple in mid-1997, the company was burdened with $1 billion of debt. Through everyone's hard work we turned Apple around, paid off the majority of our debt and began to amass a war chest of cash in the bank which has grown to about $4.8 billion! But there was still $300 million of remaining debt, which we decided to hold to maturity.
Today we used $300 million of our cash to pay off this remaining debt.
Apple is now a debt-free company - for the first time in over a decade!
It sure feels good.

Ebay will not sell everquest items. But that is not legal it is a deal they made with sony. There are sites that do sell them 2 of them most famous is Jonathon Yantis's mysupersales.com and Playerauctions.com (not sure who started this) Sony has tried to sue yantis but the threats never really materialized.
I was wondering about that same laptop been toying with the idea of picking one up. but riddle me this. Have you played with other OS's, either linux or even so far as popping in a knoppix cd to see if it all will work? i just worry about that cause some of that hardware seemed to be alienware only.
Here is the problem you didnt pay attention in your economics class. quality of product is not directly related to price. demand is directly related to price. but not in all cases certain companys still out price there hardware because i think they just dont want the average user to buy their computers.
If the demand is there for the product you can charge what you want.
But this being said OSS breaks these rules. because of the nature of it. the freedom automaticly screws the whole system out of wack because no matter how in much in demand it becomes it will be free. if it gets to a point where you cant give it away geuss what you are still going to give it away.
If it is so crappy no one wants it, no one will payfor it.
if it is so uber that everyone wants it on the machine, no one will pay for it.. unless SCO buys it, but in that case no one will pay for it anyway.
The point of this ramble is the laws of econ do not apply here. or anywhere when talking about OSS.
now if i could get gravity on my side.

the shift2 work happens to be at coporate headquarters mentioned in this article and this post. Win xp pro is everywhere. email exchange servers 2003 advanced servers. the registers nt/2k/some older sco is full of sh!t with this claim. infact i have been pushing my way up the chain to atleast let me switch the web servers to apache or something of the like cause the corp net sites are beyond slow and now we have to migrate them all using this new day tool. but hey i am 2 minutes away from being outsourced anyminute anyway.
cant tell they were masked as Click me or I have something to tell you.
like those stupid aim greatings people send. but since it was on my crappy phone i couldnt see anything but the underlined text. but i did learn of some people (my ex) still has me on their buddy list.
Not directly to that site but i did get flooded with ims with links. but here at work aim is on my phone. so i couldnt click them but all the messages i got were from people on my buddy list.
Did he say anywhere in that post that we owned anything?
And i am dieing to here the explanation as to why that attitude forces jobs to outsource?
He was just simply interjecting that it is true the american dot com boom did shape the tech world. for better or worse.
hey whats that on your shoulder? ahh a chip i understand now.
"and you dont spend company time (and use company resources) talking about your intensely interesting personal life outside of work."
Behind that should be...and you dont spend half your work day reading/.... oh crap hope that wasnt in my agreement
OK when you start spouting things about figure heads you really should know more about them then what al franken and maddox will tell you. Have you READ? O'rielly's book? if you would have you would know how stupid your statement is and how he of all the figureheads to pick is not one who follows bush blindly i state this as not a bush supporter. you may wanna eddit your post to put shawn hannity or some one not like that. but wait is the DNC steering all joke to him this week?

Why do i have a fealing that a month ago you were saying the same thing differnt topic but it had Saddam in there.
Macs will never get 90% and Apple has no intention of doing so.
Now that right there is not really a smart sentance. you started out ok. but the last half just is non-sense. You are telling me that Apple has no inentions of becoming the number 1 computer company in the world? i would beg to differ as an ex apple employee we had all kinds of webinars (not realy that word but i just learned that in the poll forum so i will use it cause it is fun) talking about and introducing plans to become the number 1 computer company. in fact i rember #1 in 2001 wow that was so catchy. cant imagine why i quit.

Wow. Your supream mental powers have me cowering because you know if you are not a democrat you MUST be a republican.
That explains the Democrats rational for spending so much.

It's a theory with some holes, but one that's fun to needle the radical right with.
Wait so any belief in the Bible makes a person a member of the radical right?
