Stock(ing) Stuffers (12/24/97)
SceneLink
 

Ho ho ho, News.com reports heavy trading of Apple stock in the days before Christmas. On Tuesday, some four million shares got traded, which is apparently almost twice as much as average over the past three months. Unfortunately, that heavy trading appeared to be people dumping stock, as AAPL's price dropped below 13 to approach its lowest price of the last ten years. Oof.

Of course, there's always the chance that everyone's just buying stocking stuffers for the Macophiles among friends and family. (Whassamatter, dontcha believe in Christmas miracles?)

Still, we wouldn't mind waking up tomorrow, running downstairs, and finding a few shares of AAPL in our stockings... Hey Santa, are you listening? If we just get another Miracle-Thaw® we'll be sorely disappointed.

The above scene was taken from the 12/24/97 episode:

December 24, 1997: (Sorry—this was before we started writing intro text for each episode!)

Other scenes from that episode:

  • 297: MacNTWorld (12/24/97)   Panic! Consternation! What kind of Christmas bewitchery be this? Andrew Gore announces that MacWorld magazine's February issue will be the first to cover Windows NT, in an effort to remain "relevant to its readers."...

  • 298: The OTHER Apple Java (12/24/97)   It seems we'll have to wait indefinitely for Apple-branded Java. "But MacOS Runtime for Java 2.0 just shipped," we hear you protest. No, we're talking about the other Apple-branded Java-- the coffee that was going to be served in the Apple Cafe...

Why did you tune in to this '90s relic of a soap opera?
Nostalgia is the next best thing to feeling alive
My name is Rip Van Winkle and I just woke up; what did I miss?
I'm trying to pretend the last 20 years never happened
I mean, if it worked for Friends, why not?
I came here looking for a receptacle in which to place the cremated remains of my deceased Java applets (think about it)
