Two points: 1. Apple is very secretive about upcoming moves; where did you get this timeline?
2. Define small - Apple's market cap. is on track to over take IBM's.

They didn't know this when putting out os 9 the first time. This alternate timeline of yours also completely ignores rhapsody. Apple didn't really lay out any plans for OS X till first quarter 98. So in 98 they laid plans out for OS X and in 99-00 they started releasing public betas and then a full release. Not quite a ten year plan. Apple being as small as it is actually turned on just about a dime from their rhapsody plans to BSD. Much easier for a company with as small a footprint as apple has, but I think still a big gamble to keep those users. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
