I wouldn't mind voting for Al Gore again.

I own a (very) small number of shares of Apple Computer Inc. However, when I moved about four years ago, I forgot to update my address with them.

I want to know how I go about updating my address so that I get the shareholder reports again. Someone bought me my initial share as a gift through a company that will sell you a framed stock certificate for a single share, in case that helps.

How have you been reporting these shares to the IRS? I'm not sure how you got past the very first April 15 without realizing that they needed an updated address.

No need to—no income.
