- Not only is Barrett's statement NOT true, but Marc also forgot to include
- the rest of the Reuters News report that was in the Houston Chronicle on
- 4-10-96 and it goes as follows:
-
- "California based Apple, which last month warned investors it will lose
- $700 million (US) in the quarter ended March 29, is trying to work off a
- staggering $2 BILLION (US) surplus of inventory."
-
- So now we know why Marc and Peter Sinclair-Day can spout off all these
- 'cheap' prices for Apple computers. Apple is giving them away trying to
- reduce this massive overload of inventory!
-
- I'll have to ask the wife if she needs any more bookends if they get cheap
- enough! :)
