Gore Joining Board of Apple Computer
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore was elected
Wednesday to the board of Apple Computer Inc.

Gore, who popularized the ``information superhighway'' as vice president and
helped secure money to build the Internet as a congressman, praised chief
executive Steve Jobs and other Apple executives for making the computer
company ``once again the very best in the world.''

But despite critically acclaimed products and a supportive fan base, Apple
only has a 3 percent share of the U.S. personal computer market, according
to the research firm IDC.
