Apple Announces Two-for-One Stock Split

Interesting news from Apple. I figured that with the price of their stock heading upward so precipitously that it would likely split in the next little while, although I didn't imagine it would happen so immediately. While buying Apple now probably isn't a "grandma bought shares of a company called IBM in the 1930s" proposition (or whatever), it certainly doesn't seem like a bad idea. Not that I can afford it (nor do I or have I ever owned any Apple stock).
