From MacNN: Our sources report that 30,000 iMacs are due by Saturday and a total of 100,000 units by the end of the month.
In an odd way, my math seems to be partially supported by the above statement. If Apple is making 20,000 a week, take out 40,000 from MacNN's total of 100,000 by the end of the month, and you are left with the 60,000 available at launch that I calculated from the Macintouch comments. 60,000 is a very good number and maybe what we'd have expected without any "news" in the past ten days but just based on the Sacto plant going overtime and the fact that Apple had over 10,000 G3s ready for the Nov. 10 launch and very few shortages after that.
