I'm a bit concerned about the PowerBook volume right now. The reports I got last week was that the entire CompUSA chain received less than two hundred WallStreet PB G3/250... In a separate report, the entire Latin America sector received just 6 WallStreets. The mail order resellers are getting a hundred machines every now an then. So it looks like the PowerBooks situation is more constrained than most of us would like to see. We need to sell 183 mil of PowerBooks to meet the PB revenue last quarter. 183 mil isn't all that much (I guess about 70k-100k units) considering that historically Apple often sells $400+ mil worth of PowerBooks. Show of hands boys and girls. How many of you have looked into buying a PB? How many of you were unsuccesfull in the first attempt (none in stock)? How many succeeded on getting one elswehere? How many of you are on waiting list? My impression is that most readers here have not bought a PB, but that those who tried eventually succeeded. Any other presonal experiences out there?
