Hi Eric,

Thanks for the Q3 update. My only concern is that sales of regular G3 desktops may decline, since many upgraders will have done so already in Q1 and Q2. I was actually expecting a better surprise in Q2 in that regard.

I guess it depends on which factor is more of a determinant in sales of Macs these days: when the product line refreshes, upgrade cycles, or seasonal purchasing.

Of course, if Apple comes out with a new line of high-end desktops (since the current G3s are apparently "low- to middle-end", if you can say that of machines this fast), as has been hinted at in a couple places, that could lead to yet more upgrades. Those would have to be announced at WWDC to affect this Q's numbers significantly.

(You'll be glad to know that I now have Office98/Mac, so I won't have to bug you this quarter about different scenarios. Will you be posting a spreadsheet file for Q3?).
