...couple thousand shares.... next cruise...
Congratulations! Since you were smarter or luckier than most, what do you think of AAPL now? Are you gonna hold 'em, or are you gonna fold 'em?
My wife and I just bought a few shares of Apple just last week. I have been watching it for years since it was as cheap as 13 dollars a share.
As for the new mini mac. I also see a big place in schools for it too. Great replacement machine! You already have tons of monitors and keyboards lying around. If you can just replace the brain, why not? Much cheaper. The macs have less problems with spy ware and the like as well. 1.3 gig is fine for word processing and the like. Perhaps it is not for the photoshop experts but it would be fine for learners. I was using photoshop 4 on a much slower mac (7600). now it is 7 on a 2 gig G5
Are you gonna hold 'em, or are you gonna fold 'em?
Hold'em 
I played with 10,000 shares of Xerox about the time that AAPL bottomed, and bought Apple in cycles, after converting some significant profits on buying/selling Xerox... some of the Apple cost me as much as $19, but the majority was bought at 13 +/-... but the Xerox cost 4 +/- and sold for 9-13, so i quadrupled my original Xerox investment into another quadruple for Apple...
the last time I did this well on stocks was in 1973, when I bought DP (Diversidied Products, a maker of weight/exercise machies, and the like) for 87 cents, and sold it after IPO... for $17. I just didn't buy enough!
