Business Week: Apple's challenge is daunting
updated 04:40 pm EST, Mon December 11, 2000
Business Week takes a look at Apple's latest financial turmoils with an attitude reminiscent of 1996. "Steve Jobs has no white rabbits left in his hat. Apple appears to be facing a dead end in its business growth, the victim of mismanagement and unmitigated hubris." Readers should note that the article contains several inaccuracies, including comparing in price Apple's Power Mac G4/500MP with Cinema Display to a single-processor 700 MHz Gateway with a CRT, and noting that IBM is to blame for the PowerPC chip, incorrectly stating that the company has stopped spending money on development (also, Motorola, not IBM, is responsible for G4 chip development).

Usually, they're far more upbeat on Apple as a business. Wonder what spooked them?
I think I see where he got the price wrong. He tossed in the 22" Cinema Display; that's $4000 right there. Of course, that does mean the computer itself is $3500, with no monitor. That's still a little high.
