Apple stock sinks on G4 PowerPC shortage

Apple Computer’s shares took a plunge on Wall Street
after the company reported that Motorola has not been able to put the new
G4 PowerPC in high-volume production.

As a result, Apple is unable to meet the sky-high demand for the new G4
"personal supercomputers" that can crunch in excess of 1 billion
floating point operations per second.

Apple’s stock which reached a record $80 this week, fell to below
$70.
