demand for the G3s has crested,

What makes you say so?


Because an upgrade was sorely needed. Essentially anybody who had decided to stay with the Mac really needed to upgrade. Some would of course wait a quarter for the prices to go down, and then buy.

The second generation G3s are just being introduced.

Yes, but it is harder to justify a move up from G3 to G3-II than from an old 68X00 to G3....

Last December, Apples market share stood at 2.8%. As of late spring it was 4%.

Your comment actually has three different, correct answers:

1.- Last December there were still clones being sold, not so in spring.

2.- The figures for both december and spring are still somewhat contentious.

3.- While market share might have possible increased, user share actually decreased. It was simply that old Mac users were coming to buy new ones.
