Sorry if I've been out of touch (I watch The Simpsons and the X-files each week) but I finally caught the new Apple G3 Commercials with the P2 on top of the slug. Jasper _RedStar_ Nuyens wrote in with several interesting points about the commercial. Mainly he talked about the superior CPU being crushed by the amazingly bloated MacOS. So what is the answer? Since Rhapsody looks like it will be "Server" software, it appears that MkLinux is the best way to tap all that power.

Colin Crisanti writes " Microsoft finds its way into the MacOS 8.01 where this link at Apple makes it well known that IE is being integrated into MacOS. So now that MacOS has IE Integrated into it will this provoke the DOJ to make Apple produce a version of their OS without IE as well?"

Interesting. In a sort of related note, Nick Davis wrote in to tell us that Bill Gates will be interviewed by Barbara Walters on 20/20. Let's see what "tough questions" she can ask him.

Kyle Geddes wrote in to let us know that Apple turned a profit last quarter. I guess that new years resolution that none of you chose a few weeks back may come true anyway. Steve "Egoman" Jobs is quoted as saying "Returning Apple to sustainable profitability is the company's No. 1 objective for fiscal 1998, and we believe we're making great progress toward that goal". It's about time. Read this infobeat story for more.

Apparently Steve "Ego Man" Jobs and Larry "I Hate Microsoft" Ellison got annoyed by a consultant who kept saying he wanted to be Apple's new CEO. They decided to have some fun so they sent him email saying he got the job. Hope that email is considered a verbal contract *grin*. Thanks to Simon Janes for sending us the story.
