[pardon the slashdot-style here, but I think it's appropriate]

1. Buy AAPL at 17.10/share in June 2003
2. Sit on stock for 18 Months
3. Sell stock at $64.85/share
4. Profit!

I'm shoving the money from this into getting a D70... I figure it's time to get some decent digital gear... but I'm not abandoning film (I love Tmax too much).

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

The D70 is a great camera. I wish I had the extra cash for it!

Please get some decent glass and not the stock kit lens. I know you know something about photography so I hope I can trust you

After 9/11, I bought one share of Apple stock.

I'm now seriously wishing I'd bought more. Much more. Granted, my one share has done quite well for itself, managing to pay for itself (even considering oneshare.com's fees), but even 50 shares would have net something quite impressive.

the problem is, I have good glass (Sigma 28-70 f2.8) but on a dslr that becomes a 42-105... and the really nice glass for digitals is in the 1000+ range (Nikon's 17-55). So, much as I would like to get �ber-perfect glass, I simply can't afford it. I wish.

If I was feeling really cheap, I'd just get the body and Sigma's 18-50... but I like the kit lens better.

And I won't be buying until early January anyway...
