posted a better-than-expected $55 million profit for the second fiscal quarter, reversing a loss of $708 million for the same period a year ago. The per-share profit of 38 cents in diluted earnings was more than double the 16 cents per share that Wall Street analysts had been predicting.

Under acting chief executive Steve Jobs, Apple has posted profits for two straight quarters. Many analysts praised Apple's quarterly performance, but some remained cautious about declaring a full-fledged turnaround until a full year's worth of results is logged. Apple holds its shareholder's meeting on April 22.

Among other computer makers, Compaq (CPQ), IBM (IBM), and Hewlett-Packard (HWP) were down in morning trading.
