Re: [Avid-L2] OT: SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Agreed. We all could for that matter.

To add a ittle more perspective, Apple just blew past Band of America,
GE and Microsoft (gulp) to become the # 2 largest company in the SP index.

If you are a stockholder you are trying your damndest NOT to hit the
sell button right now.

If you don't own it, you can at least be thankful that APPLE is helping
to float all boats in the current market, including Avid's. Our US
economy, our federal treasury and our industry would be much poorer
without it,
