>Only Apple!  $14 million in quarterly profit in a WEAK economy; 
>beats analysts estimates; other computer manufacturers are reporting 
>losses; quarterly sales of over $1.4 BILLION... and their stock goes 
>down.  Recent analysts estimates of Apple's stock also showed them 
>to be undervalued, with a "true" value of around $25/share.

>Apple needs to clean house on their PR arm! Hire whoever did the PR 
>for Microsoft during their anti-trust troubles... they went from the 
>"evil empire" according to testimony and depositions by technology 
>and industry experts to "poor orphan Annie being crushed by big

>While us evangelists and users enjoy the value of Macintosh, Apple 
>obviously has an "ugly" image in corporate America. That's all about 
>PR.  With the numbers that Apple has fairly consistently produced 
>since Jobs' return, they should be a Wall Street darling rather than 
>an ugly duckling at their current valuations.
