"AAPL's improved Q1 margins shouldn't be attributed so entirely to the G3s. I remember reading in several places that Steve has gone around and renegotiated a lot of OEM contracts, which would contribute to improved margins across the board."

Hmmm...I wouldn't be surprised. As I've mentioned before Jobs is a tough negotiator and earned quite a reputation for striking a hard bargain. Back in the days when CD-ROMs were making their debut, Jobs strongarmed Sony into selling drives at very low prices.
