Good stuff, but some scary ones as well...

The original Osborne Effect from pre-announcement to filing for bankruptcy took just six months. These days the computer industry is a more mature business, Apple has software and iPods to sell, and of course, has billions in the bank with which to cushion the impact. But how far sales fall as the first Intel-based Macs approach remains to be seen.

I think this might be the big question here....

Oh geez, I must be getting old. I looked at the thread title and knew instantly what it was about, and didn't even think of tv shows of formerly notorious and now merely bewildered rock stars.
