<<Probably almost as shocking is Spider Island software's announcement that they are going to stop support for Telefinder after August 31....

I agree. This one came as a suprise to me.
I wonder how this will affect Operator Headgap BBS? Will Bob go to FirstClass? I still like the BBS interface (although I confess that I haven't been using it as much lately, mostly because I'm so busy) and LOCAL conferences (or local in the sense of a smaller group of people whose opinions I feel I can trust).
I figured Gil would leave soon anyway. I think the company's under pretty good control. The direction of movement is now actually in the right direction and Apple seems to have the structure to make it work. The recently-announced 53 (or 57?) million loss is less than expected, so that's good. It's not a big loss, really, especially considering this is often a fairly slow quarter and revenues were actually up this month.
Who knows. Apple should survive for quite some time. If they get bought out by somebody like Motorola or Sony, things might get even better even more quickly.
