Apple Computer stock hit a ten-year low today of 13-3/16, falling 7.5 percent. Last Thursday, an unidentified investor thought to be Steve Jobs sold off 3.4 million shares of Apple stock, causing the stock to fall dramatically. Today, analysts blame the drop on Power Computing, the most successful Macintosh clone maker, which recently announced an IPO based on PCs, not Macs.
