Not sure, but I think they have those in the spring. Almost certainly in
Cupertino. BTW, if we're not worried about the absolute size of the stake
that the "Raiders of the Lost Newt" own, we could just have everyone get one
share (less then $18 at this point, plus commissions, etc.). I think the
important thing would be the sheer number of shareholders, especially if a
significant fraction showed up PHYSICALLY at the shareholders meeting. :-)
