This time around, his "live" testimony could make or break Microsoft's case. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci818649,00.html MORE ON THIS TOPIC: Read more about the antitrust trial, and where it could lead at http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid1_gci816364,00.html. _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************* OTHER STORIES In addition to the headlines below, others are available on our news page. >> FULL STORIES: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEDS CRACK BOOTLEGGING CELL, ARREST 27 | News: vnunet Some possible Long John Silvers of the Internet Age are off the cyberseas thanks to the FBI.

A rare Apple I computer has fallen from the tree and is going on the auction block.

Apple I turned into the core of Apple Computer and essentially helped launch the company and the PC revolution. There are only about 50 of these historic machines in existence today, so hardcore Apple fans will have to do more than bob to get this one. It's expected to go for $15,000 to $20,000.
