I mean, I dont know this to be true, but I
think I saw an e-mail to that effect. And so I

was to get these out early in the year.

Q. And focusing on what you said about your
sort of recalling an email where Ms. Heinen
well, it sounds like what y0u're saying is there was
some issue of an appearance of impropriety being
related to Macworld?
A. Yeah.
Q. Okay. What was the concern that Ms. Heinen
had?
A. I think she might have felt that - we
should ask her, but I think she might have felt if
we introduced some new products at Macworld and the
executive team had received some stock option grants
just prior that, that some people might question
that.
Q. Okay. And do you think that Ms. Heinen
communicated that concern to you?
A. I don't recall.
Q. Do you recall did you share that
concern?
A. Share that concern?
