iMac promotion: CompUSA reps respond. via MacCentral >The same source tells MacCentral that in a conference call CompUSA's CEO was quoted as saying the iMac will be the best selling computer in CompUSA's history. One item from our source was extremely positive "On a funny note our store has pre-booked 27 iMac since 7/26, for Win98 we only pre-booked 38 copies. Were going to sell more iMacs for the launch than we did Win98." Next, MacCentral talked to someone who is actually in the trenches. A salesman at a CompUSA location in the Northeast. "For one thing, when you tell people what they're getting for their money they basically go into convulsions and rip out their checkbooks on the spot. I also had a PC guy who, after I was done with him, wanted to buy it then and there! Also, I had 3 first time buyers looking at the iMac... and they never even mentioned the coupon book."< maccentral.com All the little birdies go tweet tweet tweet.
