As the Apple Turns: Scene 385: The Stars Say Thumbs Up (1/23/98)

The Stars Say Thumbs Up (1/23/98)

Okay, forget the crystal ball-- MacCentral's gone one better. They're saying that astrologist Susan Miller (of Time-Warner's Astrology Zone) has done a chart for Apple's future, and she likes what she sees. According to the stars, she says, "this is going to be a really good year for Apple."

Apparently the magic month for Apple this year is June, which stands out in our minds as one of the few months which is typically fairly uneventful. With the WorldWide Developer's Conference probably taking place in May and MacWorld Expo New York arriving in July, what's going to happen in June?

Now, we don't want to cast aspersions on Ms. Miller, but we decided to get a second opinion from the Magic Eight Ball. We asked it, "Will Apple thrive in 1998?" and unfortunately, the omniscient Eight Ball disagreed with Miller's prediction with a "Definitely No!" Obviously what we need is a tie-breaker, but we really don't want to squander our ten free minutes on the Psychic Friends Network-- you never know when you'll need access to a real psychic. Looks like we'll have to see the future the old-fashioned way-- by waiting for it to become the present. Bummer...
