The book publishers all seem to be private, but I suspect they are teeny-tiny in comparison. Time-Warner, with lots of properties, is worth only $40 billion. Barnes and Noble is only worth $1 billion. As of October Apple had over $50 billion in cash, in August it was only $45 billion. They had a good Christmas, they probably have a lot more today. Apple is *big*. -kb _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
