"But Apple sold more than 125,000 iPod music players in its first two months on the market and said demand for the new iMac is exceeding its own expectations. Profits came in at $38 million, or 11 cents a share,"
Rodney, I don't know how to break this to you, but it may be time to re-think the old 'PCP before lunch' routine...
Praytell, how many OTHER box-makers turned a profit in the last quarter???
Give it time. I am sure that they capitalized all sorts of costs that should have been expensed, making the sale of each box appear to be more profitable. Besides, at 125,000 sold already, they only have about 10,000 customers left to sell one to.
APPLE IS DEAD, I TELL YOU!!! DEAD DEAD DEAD

Who cares? The iPod will soon work for Windows, thanks to this company....
So no more reason to need a Mac to use this iPod. (besides, the new iMac is already decimating sales of G4's already in the pipeline...how dumb of them) Also 125,000 players is bupkus, next to what Rio has sold. And Apple will not license the technology so the player will ultimately go the way of the Newton, while PC-loving replacements outpricing and outselling it next Christmas.
Same old story, same old long haired, pot-smoking, sandal-wearing tilting-at-windmills Democrat CEO song and dance.
