Apple warns it will record quarterly loss
Article Abstract:
Apple Computer revised revenue down from $1.6 bil to $1 bil, a loss of $225 mil to $250 mil for the quarter ending Dec. 30. CEO Steve Jobs said US and international sales had slowed partly because of general economic conditions. In addition, Apple faulted itself for declining market share in the education market and slow product development for speedier CPUs. The company says it has $11 bil in cash and investments to see it through the quarter and any further uncertainty 2001 might bring.
