Jobs says Apple is on track to break analysts' best estimates and sell $50 million worth in the last quarter of 2001 alone. The cigarette-pack-size MP3 player is so popular that people have been coming into Apple stores to buy their first Macs, just to use the iPod, he says. (The company launched its own retail stores last year--Jobs redesigned the floor plan at the last minute, of course...
...weak spot on the team, it's the sometimes feeble offense, which also, alas, seems to be modeled on Baltimore's. Miller hasn't always put up enough points to stay in the game.

...Several individuals stood out in the middle of the pack. Many of you liked the fact that Senate majority leader Tom Daschle "fought off some of the worst proposals of the Bush administration as well as showing real character by keeping the Senate open for business when his Senate office was attacked with anthrax," and "has caused legislation to be carefully considered instead of being steamrolled through by an uncaring and corporate-biased President...
