Does aapl have a significant earning potential from the PB?

I know you didn't ask me, but I'll chime in anyhow...

Yes, the potential sales for the G3 PowerBooks are staggering. The performance edge that G3 processors have over anything in the Wintel world are even greater in the laptop computers. Intel can't get power consumption and heat down enough in their laptop processors enough to offer anything faster than a 233MHz Pentium (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The top of the line G3 will offer a 292Mhz processor that will simply blow the doors off of anything in the Wintel camp.

Beyond that, Apple even stated that PowerBooks accounted for a lower percentage of revenues last quarter than in previous ones. These new PBs with G3 processors should really spur sales in a big way, and get Apple back on track for providing the best laptop units in the industry.
